It is official now that Kaaka Muttai Manikandan will be directing Vijay Sethupathi for his next which would have the young K wielding his musical baton. Gopuram films will be bankrolling this venture.
On this exciting project K reveals,
“I got to meet Manikandan when I was working in Kirumi. Later Anucharan, Kirumi director, told me that Manikandan wanted to meet me for his next project; we met and that’s how I came on board this film. We have already started and the basic work has begun. It is proceeding very steadily. We have recorded one song, composed many ideas and are working on it. The music will be a mix of folk and modern elements. We are trying to experiment with a lot of instruments and that’s why we started work on the music segment much earlier”.
The story set in Chennai is said to belong to the genre of drama and can be comparable to Kaaka Muttai. It is reported to be based on a book written by Arulchezhian and will be a simple and feel good flick just like Kaaka Muttai.
