Music director turned actor Vijay Antony has a track record of picking up unique projects. But despite his persistent effort to deliver something fresh for the audience, the actor has not had a solid commercial success in a while. The Naan actor was last seen on screens in the action-drama Agni Siragugal which hit the screens under the direction of film maker Naveen with actor Arun Vijay as the antagonist. The flick which was made with a massive budget did not achieve the desired result. But the actor has put that behind him, and is currently gearing up for the release of his upcoming mass action movie christened Ratham. Director C S Amudhan of Thamizh Padam fame has directed the venture. Actresses Ramya Nambeesan, Nandita Swetha, and Mahima Nambiar have played the female lead roles. The shooting for the project was happening in full swing in Thailand.Â
Now, the production team has announced that the shooting for the entertainer has been wrapped. The director himself has shared the news on social media, and has also thanked his artists for performing high octane action sequences without hesitation. Taking to his official twitter handle, the director shared a picture of actress Mahima Nambiar and wrote, “And… we are back in India having wrapped the shoot for Ratham. With a major portion of the post-production also being over, the day is not far off when we will see you in theatres! My thanks to members of the cast who performed dangerous stunts without hesitation.” Here is the post made by the director.Â
