Actor-director Parthiban is in talks with Bollywood actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui to star in the Hindi remake of his recent directorial venture, Oththa Seruppu Size 7. The actor took to Twitter to reveal that the two were in talks, and also shared a picture with Nawazuddin who was in town to attend an awards ceremony.

"We're in talks and it's too early to confirm it at this juncture. I was able to meet him earlier today and he's interested in the project. He has not seen the film but those around him have caught it. He will watch the film and then give his word," says Parthiban. When asked about the status of his upcoming film, Iravin Nizhal, Asia’s first single-shot feature film, the filmmaker says, "It's a huge process and is equal to doing ten films. I am currently busy with my acting commitments, including Vijay Sethupathi's Thuglak Durbar. I will commence work on Iravin Nizhal in between these projects."

Parthiban, who was last seen in Thittam Poattu Thirudura Koottam, also has films such as Gautham Menon's Dhruva Natchathiram and Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan in the pipeline.
