"Adding fuel to the FLAME. Casting update on Chiyaan 63. Delulu Riya Shibu on board! - Riya Shibu"

Chennai, May 13

Superstar Vikram's upcoming film, tentatively titled 'Chiyaan 63', has announced its female lead for the movie.

The makers of 'Chiyaan 63' have announced that 'Sarvam Maya' actress Riya Shibu has boarded the cast of the film. It is directed by Anand Shankar.

Taking to her Instagram handle, Riya Shibhu shared her character announcement poster for the film.

While sharing the poster, the actress wrote, "Adding fuel to the FLAME. Casting update on Chiyaan 63. Delulu Riya Shibu on board! A film by Anand Shankar on floors soon."

Riya Shibu will also be seen in the upcoming film 'Athiradi', which also stars Tovino Thomas and Basil Joseph in the lead roles. The makers have released the trailer of the film.

The film is helmed by debut director Arun Anirudhan, who is known for writing the script of Minnal Murali, which was a hit at the box office in 2021.

According to the trailer, the film revolves around the return of a popular college fest. The video introduces Basil Joseph as Samkutty, a student determined to bring the event back to impress his crush, Riya Shibu, in the film.

The movie takes a tragic turn when Basil Joseph crosses paths with Tovino Thomas's character, a goon who often beats his enemies while singing a song. What begins as a clash of egos soon escalates into a larger conflict, igniting the chain of events that blends action, comedy, romance and campus fights.

The film is slated to release on May 14.

Honestly, Vikram is a powerhouse actor but I'm a bit skeptical about Anand Shankar's direction after some of his recent films. Let's hope the script does justice to both actors. Riya's poster looks promising though. 🤞

Chiyaan 63 has been in the news for so long, finally some casting updates! Riya Shibu is a fresh face and should bring something new to the table. Also excited about Athiradi - Tovino and Basil combo is always fun. South Indian cinema is on fire right now! 🔥🔥

Not sure about this pairing. Vikram is a veteran who needs a strong screen presence opposite him, and Riya is relatively new. But then again, every star was a newcomer once. Let's see what Anand Shankar has planned - he's capable of delivering a good product.

Yay! Finally some good news for Vikram fans. The man deserves a hit after all his dedication to cinema. Riya looks lovely in the poster, hope her character has substance. Also, Athiradi releasing on May 14 - will definitely catch it in theatres! 🎬

The whole 'Delulu Riya Shibu' caption is cringe but okay. More interested in Athiradi's release tomorrow - that campus action story with Basil and Tovino sounds like a proper mass entertainer. Hope Chiyaan 63 announcement builds up nicely later.
