Actor R Madhavan, who is currently shooting for Vikram-Vedha, will next star in a rural-based film with director Sarkunam, and will feature in a village get-up. The pre-production work on this project is currently underway.

Meanwhile, it has been learnt that the film will also be made in Hindi, and Madhavan will pen the dialogues. The Rang De Basanti actor had previously penned the dialogues for the Hindi version of Nala Damayanti and Evano Oruvan.

Confirming the news, Sarkunam said that they are making the film in Hindi and Madhavan will take care of the dialogues. Although unwilling to share any more information regarding the project, he said they’re busy finalising the cast and crew for the film’s Hindi version. Both versions of the project will go on the floors next year. Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff is tipped to be playing the antagonist in this project which will be shot in Thailand, Malaysia, Nepal, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu.

In Vikram-Vedha, which also stars Vijay Sethupathi in the role of a gangster, Madhavan is playing an encounter specialist.
