We had earlier reported that Dhanush would be making his second directorial film for Thenandal Studios Limited, who produced Vijay's Mersal.

Now, the Maari actor has officially confirmed the same news through his tweet. He has stated that he would be playing the lead role in this venture, which would be his 37th project as an actor. Dhanush tweeted, "As speculated my next directorial venture will be with @ThenandalFilms #dd2. Will also be playing the lead actor..#d37 More updates in 2018! @Hemarukmani1 @MuraliRamasamy4 @aditi1231 #LookingForward!"

Through Hema Rukmani's tweet, it is more or less confirmed that this film will be a historical period biggie. "The multitalented @dhanushkraja ‘s  next directorial will be with us ! #D will play the lead role in this spectacular larger than life opus. More exciting updates in 2018 ! Let’s Rock @ThenandalFilms @MuraliRamasamy4 @aditi1231 #LookingForward ", tweeted Hema. 

Best wishes to Dhanush and TSL!
