Production house Sun Pictures took to Twitter on Wednesday to announce that they will be bankrolling a movie with actor Vijay Sethupathi in the lead. The untitled project will be spearheaded by director Ponram. A short video was released to make the announcement. In the thumbnail of the video, we see a police jeep with a cap and baton, indicating that Vijay Sethupathi might essay the role of a cop in the movie. Music composer D Imman will be taking care of background scores and soundtrack for the movie. Introducing the tentatively titled project as VJS46, the makers wrote, “We are happy to announce Makkal Selvan @VijaySethuOffl's #VJS46bySunPictures directed by @ponramVVS and music by @immancomposer.”
Ponram, who is heading VJS46, made his directorial debut with Sivakarthikeyan starrer Varthapadatha Valibar Sangam. The romantic- comedy film was well-received by the audience. He then went on to direct Rajinimurugan and Seemaraja, which also starred Sivakarthikeyan in the lead. Ponram is currently working in a movie with actor Sasikumar in the lead. It is likely to hit the theatres this April.
