Pushpaka Vimana followed the story of an unemployed graduate, who encounters a drunk rich man unconscious and takes over his lifestyle after keeping him prisoner– without realising that he is now a target of a hired killer. Pushpaka Vimana bagged the National Film Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment as a Kannada-language entry. The film had opened to acclaim and went on to emerge a box office success.

On the work front, Kamal Haasan was last seen in Vikram, with Fahadh Faasil and Vijay Sethupathi. The film became one of the biggest blockbusters of the year.

The actor will also be seen in Shankar’s Indian 2 and will collaborate with director Mani Ratnam for a film. The duo had last worked together on the 1987 film Nayakan.
