We had previously reported that Jai and Suraj Venjaramoodu will be headlining Aishwarya Rajinikanth's upcoming directorial, Texla.
According to the makers, the film is set against a rural backdrop decades ago, and is expected to revolve around the world of children. Yuvan Shankar Raja will compose music for Texla.
Kannan Ravi of KRG Group, who recently backed Jiiva's Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil, is producing the upcoming film. It marks the first collaboration between Aishwarya and the production banner and her second with Yuvan Shankar Raja, after Vai Raja Vai (2015).
While other details regarding the film's plot and extended cast are yet to be revealed, speculations are now rife about Bollywood actor and producer Abhishek Bachchan joining the cast in a cameo role. However, a confirmation is awaited from the makers.
If the rumours turn out to be true, the upcoming film will mark Abhishek Bachchan's debut in Tamil. Till date, the actor has not acted directly in a Tamil-language film but has been involved in the industry through dubbed versions of his Hindi films, particularly those directed by Mani Ratnam. His most notable films include Raavan (2010), titled Raavanan in Tamil, both of which were released simultaneously, and Guru (2007).
Parthiban was involved in remaking his critically acclaimed Oththa Seruppu Size 7 (2019) in Hindi with Abhishek Bachchan in the lead. However, there has been no update on the same for years now. The actor was also set to star in the Hindi remake of KD, directed by Madhumita, but the current status of the film remains unknown.
