Production had begun for Dhanush's much-anticipated film D55 with director Rajkumar Periasamy earlier this month and while the buzz has been aplenty, many details are still under wraps. Sai Abhyankkar, who will be composing music for the yet-to-be-titled project has recently shared a few details about the film, noting that he is "cooking a special album" for it.
Expressing his excitement for upcoming projects Karuppu, Allu Arjun and Atlee's AA22xA6, and D55, Sai Abhyankkar hinted at creating unique music for each project. The young composer also noted how he feels ecstatic to work with Dhanush and Rajkumar Periasamy. While he remained tight-lipped on the story, Sai Abhyankkar, he said that the album will have bot energetic dance numbers for Dhanush as well as romantic songs.
D55 stars an ensemble cast consisting of Mammootty, Sai Pallavi and Sreeleela. Sai Pallavi is reuniting with Dhanush for the second time after Maari 2 (2018) and the director after their hit collaboration in Amaran. The latter will be working on her sophomore project in Tamil after the recent Sivakarthikeyan-starrer Parasakthi. Meanwhile, Mammootty is making his comeback to Tamil cinema seven years after director Ram's critically-acclaimed drama Peranbu (2019).
While plot details of D55 are currently unknown, the director had previously revealed, "My previous film was about a hero, a Gallantry award recipient (Amaran). My next is about many unsung heroes who blend in within the society. The protagonist will represent one such hero." Details regarding rest of the cast members, plot and a tentative release date have been kept under wraps.
D55 will be backed by Dhanush's Wunderbar Films, in association with RTake Studios. The film was earlier set to be produced by Anbuchezhiyan and Sushmita Anbuchezhiyan under their Gopuram Films banner before the change took place.
