August 13, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): It looks like Vikram is completely perplexed over picking the best projects. Three of his projects were dropped within three months time.

Much before the release of Manirathnam's Raavanan, the actor started filming his untitled film with Selvaraghavan. Produced by Ramesh of Kanagarathna Movies, the film was reported to be a psycho-thriller. The first schedule was completely shot at exotic locales of Ladakh and suddenly got shelved due to unknown reasons.

Later, Vikram signed Yaavarum Nalam fame Vikram Kumar for a sci-fi thriller 24, which again was dropped at the last moment. Moreover, his other project Vedi with director Boopathy Pandian was supposed to take off in Salem this week and has been cancelled.

Finally, the actor has now signed director Vijay of Madharasapattinam for his next movie yet to be titled. It seems that the duo wanted Bollywood actress Vidya Balan to perform the female lead character. However, the actress refused the offer saying that she is busy with Hindi films and has no plans of acting in Tamil movies.
