Even as Vikram is doing the countdown for his ‘Mallanna’ to hit screens, the experimental actor has signed up his next project that will begin in September. The actor, who is currently working on Mani Ratnam’s ‘Raavana’ now, will proceed to do a love story.

This film, as reported earlier, will be directed by 'Yaavarum Nalam'(Tamil) Vikram K Kumar. The director had earlier stated that he was looking for a young, fresh face for the film, and now, it looks like he may have changed his mind. Reliable sources tell us the director has approached Ileana to do the role in his next film, and both Vikrams, along with the rest of Kollywood, are eager to have her back in Tamil films. Will the elusive Ileana, who has turned down the opportunity to work with the biggest of our heroes, Rajini (for Yanthram) and Vijay (Vettaikkaran-Tamil) say yes to our Chiyaan?
