James will reportedly play the antagonist in the film. Subbaraj had originally planned to rope in Al Pacino for the role. Unfortunately, he couldn’t get dates of the Scarface actor.

Since the film will be majorly shot in London, Subbaraj decided to rope in mostly international actors and James happens to the most popular among them. The project goes on the floors in London this week. For the next three months, the film will be shot in and around London and a few other places. The makers are yet to reveal rest of the cast and crew.
