Dhanush is one of the busiest actors in the Tamil cinema industry now with several films in his kitty.

Many fans and film enthusiasts are already probing about the film, but the director isn't ready to share any details just as of yet. When a X user asked him if an update on D56 come on Dhanush's birthday?, Tamizharasan said, "It won't come brother. Any update on the film will only come after D55's release.
