The actor who played Dhanush's younger brother in last year's blockbuster VIP, Hrishikesh is set to turn hero with the movie Rum to be produced by All in Pictures (the makers of Masala Padam) and directed by Sai Bharat (a former assistant of cinematographer Jeeva). Sai also apparently has some experience in Hollywood. Anirudh would provide the music for this film and the team intends to start filming either in the first or second week of December.
Rum would have elements of horror, thriller and also lots of fun. The makers assure that it would be a new experience, far removed from the other horror thrillers and horror comedies ruling Tamil cinema now.
Hrishikesh was apparently working on writing a lot of scripts in the past year since the release of VIP, and has chosen Rum after careful analysis and consideration. The other cast and crew members are being decided and a known face is being scouted for the heroine role.
