`Vithagan` means `with the gun`?

 

Seventh Channel Manickam Narayanan has come out with an impressive tag line for his Parthiepan starrer Vithagan.

It reads – "with the gun", which if you say fast sounds similar to Vithagan!

Vithagan is an edge of the seat cop thriller. Those who saw the film which was cleared by the censors with an `U/A` certificate, say it is fantastic, with a knockout performance by Parthiepan.

The music of Joshua Sridhar is peppy and is topping the charts. Another highlight is said to be the action scenes between Parthiepan and the villain Milind Soman. Poorna provides enough glamour in the film.

Vithagan will be releasing in 175 screens in Tamil Nadu on November 18 and virtually gets a solo release.
