Popular as "Super Sarath", the Tamil actor has been in Malaysia since Dec 12 with his co-stars M.R.R. Radharavi and D. Vivek, shooting action scenes and a song sequence in and around the city and at the Langkawi sea resort, The New Straits Times said Monday.

Directed by newcomer GN Dinesh Kumar, the film is a story of a man who struggles to correct a blunder in history after 30 years.

A Malaysian actor, not named in the report, is playing the villain, besides a number of local talents, in the film that would be released in April.

Malaysia is a favourite destination of filmmakers from India whose films, particularly those in Tamil, cater to the two million-plus Malaysian Indian diaspora.
