Dhanush visited the sets of the Vijay Yesudas-starrer Padaiveeran recently. Directed by Dhana, former assistant to Mani Ratnam, this rural drama also has Bharathiraaja in an important role.

In September, Dhanush recorded a folksy fun song for the film, titled Local Sarakka Foreign Sarakka with Priyan's lyrics. Newbie Amritha has been paired opposite Vijay in the film that has music by Karthik Raja.

It is notable that Vijay Yesudas and Dhanush have acted together in Balaji Mohan’s Maari.
