Gautham Menon’s next flick is expected to release in August, but the expectations from this Vikram starrer are already high.

The teaser for Dhruva Natchathiram, released last week, already has over 4 million views. Vikram plays a CIA agent called John in the film, and the pace and style of the teaser has many people raving.

Cinematographer Jomon T John has now revealed that the teaser was shot in 14 straight hours. With the teaser garnering a lot of attention amongst the film buffs, Jomon revealed that he had used a Canon 5D camera to shoot it.

The teaser shows Vikram engaged in a tense chat with Darkman, who has apparently abducted a person called Mr K. While we see John (Vikram) moving through the city sporting a salt-and-pepper beard and wearing dark sunglasses for the most part, the audio - of two people speaking about him - reveals that he is a covert operative who has gone off the radar for 8 years.

While the teaser has fans in a frenzy, there are also reports of Malayalam actor Prithviraj doing a crucial role in Dhruva Natchathiram but it has not been finalised yet, say sources.

Anu Emmanuel will be pairing up with Vikram in this Gautham Menon spy thriller. Harris Jayaraj is composing the music for the film.

Dhruva Natchathiram is expected to hit the silver screens in August this year.
