There was news, a few days back that Vikram might be roped in for the 19th Step, directed by Bharat Bala. Now, it looks almost certain as unconfirmed reports indcate that a meeting did take place between the star and the director. Vikram is all excited as his Kanthaswamy will be released soon. He is also working on Raavan with ace director Mani Ratnam. 

There hasn't been any press meets or major announcements regarding this, but it is believed that director Bharat Bala is doing a deep research on the topic and does not want any controversies especially with a period film. He is consulting with writer M.T. Vasudevan Nair and wants to make it as authentic as he can!

Bharat Bala is credited with the success of Vande Mataram music videos which he filmed during India's 50th year of Independence. 19th Step will have A.R. Rahman teaming up with Bharat Bala once again after several years!

The film is produced by Walt Disney Productions, and has Asin and Tadanobu Asano in lead roles. Kamal Haasan was supposed to have been a part of the project, but there hasn't been any confirmation yet. Has Kamal opted out of the project? Is he teaming up with Murugadoss for a Bollywood flick? These are some questions that still keep lingering in our minds!
