Veteran filmmaker T Rajendar recently formed a new association of producers, called the Tamil Nadu Movie Makers Sangam, which is being headed by his wife Usha T Rajendar. Now, their son and actor Silambarasan has signed a new project with the organisation. The venture will reportedly be directed by debutant Gnanagiri and produced by Singaravelan, Vice President of Tamil Nadu Movie Makers Sangam.
In a press release, the association had stated that the profits of this movie will be used to help the members of the association in need to financial assistance. "The amount that we generate through this film will go towards medical help for producers who aren't in good financial health, and the education and marriage expenses of their wards, and providing life and medical insurance among others," it read.
Last seen in the entertainer Eeswaran directed by Suseenthiran, Silambarasan has a slew of films in his kitty. He is currently busy shooting for Maanaadu, directed by Venkat Prabhu. Touted to be a political thriller, Kalyani Priyadarshan plays the female lead in this film with SJ Suryah, Bharathiraja, S A Chandrasekhar, Karunakaran, Premgi Amaren and Manoj Bharathiraja forming the rest of the star cast.
