Actor-producer Dhanush has already commenced work on his directorial debut, Power Pandi, which stars veteran actor Raj Kiran in the lead.

The project was announced earlier this month and was immediately followed by the release of the film’s first look poster. Tipped to be an action comedy, the film also stars Prasanna and Chaya Singh in important roles. It was also rumoured that veteran actress Nadiya will be seen in a pivotal role; however, she denied the news.

The latest update on the project is that Dhanush will be seen playing a cameo. A reliable source has confirmed that he will be playing the younger version of Raj Kiran, who will be seen as a stuntman in the film. Contrary to reports, the film is not about a group of bikers, but about stuntmen and the story revolves around their lives. The principal shooting has already begun and the film is most likely to be wrapped by December.

Despite being busy shooting for Vetrimaaran’s Vada Chennai, a three-part gangster drama, Dhanush is keen on releasing Power Paandi in the first half of 2017.
