Director Vetrimaaran, known for his rooted themes and raw filmmaking style, was last seen directing the Dhanush-starrer gangster epic Vada Chennai that also had director Ameer, Samuthirakani, Andrea, Aishwarya Rajesh, and others in crucial roles.
The director is currently busy with the proceedings of Asuran, a rural drama based on the novel Vekkai, which stars Dhanush and Malayalam actress Manju Warrier in lead roles. Asuran is produced by 'Kalaipuli' S Thanu under his banner 'V Creations'. Our close sources inform that after wrapping Asuran, the national award-winning director is in talks with actor and comedian Soori for his next project, in which the actor is said to be playing the lead role. That sounds interesting and instantly sets the expectations high for the surprise combination.
The project is said to be bankrolled by Elred Kumar under the banner R.S. Infotainment, known for producing films such as Ko, Muppozhudhum Un Karpanaigal and Vinnaithandi Varuvaya and Yaamirukka Bayamaey. However, official updates must be awaited for further confirmation regarding the project. Stay tuned for more updates
