After the release of AAA, STR had announced on his Twitter page that he would be starting a new project to be directed by himself. He even said that the project would be in English and not in any regional language. Yuvan Shankar Raja was appointed to take over the music, and Santosh Sivan was said to be the cinematographer for this script written by Simbu and Gautham Vasudev Menon. The editing department was announced to be handled by ace editor Anthony.
After the announcement, we did not receive any updates from STR's side until it was said that he would be starring in Mani Ratnam's next. Now, finally, we have clarity on the news. Sources close to the star inform us that he will be starting the shooting for this English project by the end of October. It is expected that he will complete the shooting by December and join Mani Ratnam's sets from January 2018.
This is some exciting information from Simbu's side, and we hope we get to see this film soon!
