Fans have quickly reacted to the tweet wishing a speedy recovery for the actor. “As long as we are with you, nothing will happen to you,” read the tweet of an emotional fan.

Thangalaan, based on real incidents that happened in the Kolar gold mines, several decades ago, has Vikram playing the chief of an indigenous tribe. The making video of the film was recently, released which hinted that the film is set during the colonial rule and it is about the issue of land–a subject Pa Ranjith often deals with.

Other than Vikram, the film, produced by Gnanvelraja, also stars Pasupathy, Parvathy Thiruvothu, Malavika Mohanan, and Daniel Caltagirone. GV Prakash Kumar is composing the music for the film, which is set to be released next year.
