Just when everybody thought that Shivarajkumar might play the role of STF chief Vijaykumar in 'Killing Veerappan', director Ramgopal Verma has aroused everybody's interests by saying Shivarajakumar is not playing the role of Vijykumar, instead will be playing the role of a gentleman which he did not divulge.

'As of now, I don't want to divulge Shivarajakumar's role in the film. He has a very special role in the film and I want to keep it a secret' says Verma.

Verma has roped in NSD graduate Sandalwood to play the role of Veerappan in the film. Sanchari Vijay is also said to be playing a prominent role in the film.
