Antony Varghese joins Thanneer Mathan Dinangal makers' next

After Girish AD and Dinoy Poulose, another member from the Thanneer Mathan Dinangal gang is donning the director's hat. Vineeth Vasudevan, who co-wrote Allu Ramendran with Girish and made a cameo appearance as a tour guide in Thanneer Mathan Dinangal, is directing his first feature with Antony Varghese as the lead.

Shebin Backer, who produced Take Off and Thanneer Mathan Dinangal, will be bankrolling the yet-to-be-titled project along with Girish AD. The script is by Varun Dhara. More details on the film are expected to be announced soon. Some popular faces and newcomers will be part of the cast.

Vineeth recently directed a notable short film titled Veli, which won prizes at the FEFKA short film festival. He has also directed two other short films — Videomaranam and Nilam.

Antony Varghese recently completed shooting for Nikhil Premraj's Aanaparambile World Cup. He is now working on Ajagajantharam, his second collaboration with Tinu Pappachan after Swathandryam Ardharathriyil. Antony is also slated to star in debutant Nitish Sahadev's Falimy and an untitled campus film helmed by Nahas Hidayath.

Although Antony was supposed to make his Tamil debut with Vijay's next, tentatively called Thalapathy 64, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, he has been replaced with Kaithi-fame Arjun Das due to scheduling conflicts.
