Last month, Hema Rukmani of Thenandal Studios Limited (TSL) had tweeted she’d be collaborating with Dhanush. Now, there’s buzz that the actor himself will be directing the film, besides playing the lead.

Dhanush debuted as a director with Pa Paandi, which enjoyed a good run at the box office. A source says this project will start rolling by the end of next year. “Dhanush is occupied with ENPT and Maari 2 for now. Once he finishes them, he’ll start this one,” adds the source.

Previously, it was speculated that Karthik Subbaraj would team up with Thenandal for a film.
