Mumbai-based model-turned-actor K.C. Shanker will play the role of a villain in "Samrajyam II: Son of Alexander", to be directed by Perarasu.

Shanker is fluent in Hindi, Tamil and Malayalam and that is the main reason producer Ajmal Hassan has shortlisted him as the main villain in the film.

Actor Unni Mukundan is doing the male lead. The shooting of the film is going on in Chennai, where a huge set has been put up.

Veteran actor Madhu, Devan, Vijayaraghavan and Riyaz Khan are also part of the film.
