After a wait of more than half a decade, veteran actor Vijayaraghavan is finally appearing in a pivotal role in a Sathyan Anthikkad film.

Sathyan's new untitled film starring Mohanlal in the lead will have Vijayaraghavan playing an important role of Pitambaram a gulf returnee. The actor is for the first time called upon by the director who is specialized in creating soft humorous, but soulful characters.

Vijayaragavan has been successfully donning the roles of venomous villains for a couple of years. Last year he had some notable roles in films like ‘Mayavi’, ‘Nasrani’ and the recent ‘Raudram’. Most will hope that, with a good role in a Sathyan film, he will escape from being typecast in the roles of villainous characters.
