We had reported back in February that Vijay Sethupathi and Nithya Menen's upcoming film with director Pandiraj had wrapped up. With the title teaser set to be shared on Saturday, composer Santhosh Narayanan had announced that he has joined the film to score music for the film, which is tentatively titled VJS 52.
He took to his X handle and wrote, "Back with my dearest Sethu Na and Nithya Menen for this special special film. Time for some graamiya ‘soul’ and ‘kuthu’ songs." Santhosh Narayanan had earlier composed music for several Vijay Sethupathi films including Pizza, Soodhu Kavvum, Jigarthanda, Kadhalum Kadandhu Pogum, Iraivi, and Kadaisi Vivasayi. Pandiraj last directed the 2022 Suriya film Etharkkum Thunindhavan.
Sathya Jyothi Films is producing the film. The production banner is yet to reveal plot or character details. However, the makers described the film to be an "ultimate wholesome entertainer" which is "a rugged love story". The film's cast also includes Yogi Babu and Chemban Vinod Jose.
Vijay Sethupathi's upcoming projects also include Train, with director Mysskin and co-star Narain, Ace opposite Rukmini Vasanth, and the silent film Gandhi Talks alongside Arvind Swami and Aditi Rao Hydari. On the other hand, Nithya Menen has Idly Kadai with actor-filmmaker Dhanush in the pipeline.
