One of 2018's most appreciated films is Pariyerum Perumal, which was bankrolled by actor Ranjith under the banner Neelam Productions. The film marked the directorial debut of Mari Selvaraj and the social drama went on to garner universal acclaim and commercial success.
Mari Selvaraj is back with his next venture, reportedly titled as Karnan, which stars actor Dhanush as the male lead. The makers have zeroed in on the female lead of the film. Our close sources have confirmed that Malayalam actress Rajisha Vijayan will be playing the female protagonist of the film.
Rajisha Vijayan was last seen playing the titular lead in the Ahammed Khabeer-directed coming-of-age drama June. The actress made her debut in the 2016 film Anuraga Karikkin Vellam, helmed by Unda director Khalid Rahman.
The film is bankrolled by Kalaippuli S. Thanu under the banner V Creations, who are also currently producing Dhanush's forthcoming venture Asuran, directed by Vetrimaaran. Stay tuned for more updates.
