Anandhi's next is a college-based social drama

Anandhi will next star in a college-based social drama directed by debutant Thamarai Selvan. The actor will star opposite actor Sam Jones in the film.

Thamarai Selvan, who has previously worked as an assistant director to Mohan Raja in films like Thani Oruvan and Velaikkaran, says his upcoming film is based on a real-life incident. "The story is set in Madurai. It revolves around a bunch of college kids who are straight out of school. They get stuck in a sticky situation in a world ridden with political ploys and caste issues," the director tells us.

The untitled film also stars Munishkanth, Vela Ramamoorthy, and A Venkatesh. Thamarai Selvan also reveals that the team is currently in talks to rope in a prominent director to play a lead role. "A few YouTubers are also acting in the film, and we will announce their details in the upcoming months," he adds. A title announcement is also expected to be made on February 14.

The director says that more than half of the shooting is already over and that he aims to wrap up the remaining portions by February. 

Bankrolled by Mas Cinemas, the film will have music by Dhibu Ninan Thomas, who has previously scored the music for films like Maragadha Naanayam and Kanaa. The cinematography is handled by MS Prabhu.
