Samuthirakani as villain

Allu Arjun-starrer Ala Vaikuntapuram Lo is currently being filmed by director Trivikram, who has roped in popular Tamil director and actor Samuthirakani for a negative role.

“He is playing a person from Srikakulam and is one of the villains in the film,” reveals a source. While the Tamil director is usually seen in realistic films, he will be donning a panchekattu and speaking in a typical Srikakulam accent for this film, which also features other pan-Indian actors like Sachin Khedekar, Murali Sharma, Jayaram, Nasser and Harsha Vardhan.
