Dhanush in a period film

'Polladhavan' team is getting together again.

The film will be produced by Kadiresan, directed by Vetrimaran and will have music direction by G.V.Prakash. Shriya will pair Dhanush in the film.

The story is about a 1970 incident that took place in Madurai and it is about a particular caste. That is the reason why Vetrimaran has kept the details as a secret.

The film 'Subramaniapuram' directed by Sasikumar too has a 1980 story and that again revolves around Madurai.

Shriya

The only difference is that 'Subramaniapuram' is a love story whereas the Dhanush's film is a story about a caste.

Vetrimaran wanted to title the film as 'Seval'. As yet another film with the title 'Seval' directed by Hari with Bharath as hero exists, they are looking for a good title.

Story discussions are happening briskly.

Dhanush Charges 3 Crores

The Telugu super hit Arya created a star out of Allu Arjun in the lead. The same is to be remade in Tamil with Dhanush in the lead role. This debut undertaking for Gemini Labs will be directed by Balasekharan, who has victorious movies like Love Today and Thulli Thirindha Kaalam to his name. Dhanush, who has hit a high following the huge critical and commercial success of his recent release Polladhavan, is currently awaiting the release of his forthcoming movie Yaradi Nee Mohini, a remake of the Telugu film Aadavari Matalaku Ardhale Verule, which was directed by his brother Selvaraghavan.

The actor has supposedly been signed up for a huge sum of 3 crores, which has catapulted him into the big league. The heroine is yet to be finalized. The original was a marketable potboiler with rib-tickling comedy, awesome action and rocking musical numbers. With a big league star, a fine filmmaker and a proven script at their disposal, it seems like Gemini Labs is going to have a dominant debut production.

Dhanush's Project Dropped

Arya starring Allu Arjun was a blockbuster hit in Andhra Pradesh which won rave reviews. This film was publicized to be remade in Tamil with Gemini films buying the remake rights. For the role of Allu Arjun which was very vivacious, youthful and bubbly, Simbu and Dhanush were said to be in fray and it was later reported that the opportunity fell on Dhanush’s lap. Then when the issue of direction came in, Dhanush’s brother Selvaraghavan was alleged to be wielding the megaphone. However this again was changed and it was said that his cinematographer friend Arvind Krishna will be directing the film. But even this name was dropped and Balasekaran of Love Today was approached by Gemini Films who had booked him to direct the film. Eventually, as the unit is not in a position to commence work, this project has been dropped and Dhanush has gone to Vetrimaran’s camp to do a film.

dhanush on right track

Dhanush is riding high on a success wave with Polladhavan. This film has earned him acclaim and is doing well among the Pongal releases too. Now he has been approached by filmmakers with similar scripts but the actor wants to play it safe and wishes to wait for the response of his next film Yaaradi Nee Mohini with Nayanthara. This film is a remake of his brother Selva’s Aadavari Maatalaku Ardhale Verule which was a blockbuster hit in Andhra Pradesh. AMAV is a family theme with romance and comedy intertwined. Dhanush says that in Yaaradi Nee Mohini his role is very different from the ones that he has essayed all along and would be a pleasant surprise for his fans. He further adds, “In Sullan, I did a role which was much beyond my age and appearance. But in Polladhavan, there is a combination of comedy and action, which stuck the right chord with the audience. In film industry, I have realized that for any hero to become commercially successful, he needs to combine action and comedy. I believe that this is the secret formula of success.”
