Earlier, we reported about Dhanush playing the lead role in a film from director Vignesh Raja, known for 2023's mystery thriller Por Thozhil. The yet-to-be-titled film's producer, Vels Film International, took to X on Wednesday to request Dhanush fans to refrain from sharing set footages from the film's shoot.
They wrote, "We request our "D"ear fans to support us by not sharing any footage from the sets of #D54. Your cooperation means everything!" Ishari Ganesh is producing the film under the Vels Film International banner.
Earlier in October, the makers shared that production on the film has been completed and that they plan to release it in February next year. The film, tentatively titled D54, brings Vignesh back together with his Por Thozhil co-writer Alfred Prakash. The makers officially announced the project earlier this year, following plenty of speculation about Dhanush and Vignesh Raja's collaboration. At the time, they dropped a poster featuring Dhanush's character in a field on fire, captioning it, "Sometimes staying dangerous is the only way to stay alive."
Later, for Dhanush's birthday, a brand new image of the actor from the film was unveiled where he was seen standing inside a phone booth trying to make a call. The booth, indicative of a bygone era, hinted at a period setting for the film.
The film also stars Mamitha Baiju and Jayaram in key roles. The cast features Suraj Venjaramoodu, Karunas, KS Ravikumar, Prithvi Pandiarajan, Kushmitha, and Nitin Sathyaa, among others. On the technical front, it has composer GV Prakash, cinematographer Theni Eswar, and editor Sreejith Sarang.
Vignesh Raja made his directorial debut with the critically acclaimed film Por Thozhil, starring Sarathkumar and Ashok Selvan in the lead roles.
