Actor Dhanush, who is on the verge of wrapping up the shoot for Vetrimaaran’s Asuran, is all set to rejoin the sets of director Durai Senthil Kumar’s next film in which he plays a dual role and is paired with Sneha. According to reliable sources, the shoot of Asuran, which had been stopped to allow Dhanush to participate in the promotional activities of his Hollywood release The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir, will be completed by this month end. Dhanush is then expected to start shooting for Kodi fame director Durai Senthil’s next from early next month.
Durai Senthil’s project with Dhanush has already been half shot and the makers hope to film the remainder of the film in two schedules. The first schedule was shot in Kuttralam and the shoot will resume from the first week of July. Both Asuran and Durai Senthil’s film feature Dhanush in dual roles; he will be seen playing father and son. For Durai’s film, the father portions featuring Dhanush and Sneha as his pair have already been shot in the Kuttralam schedule. Dhanush will go beardless for shooting the son’s portions from July. It is not clear yet whether Dhanush will have a pair in the son’s role.
Cinematographer Om Prakash is cranking the camera and this will be his fourth outing with Dhanush after Maari, Anegan and Maari 2. Vivek-Mervin duo has been roped in to compose the music.
Asuran is touted to be a revenge thriller based on Tamil novel Vekkai, in which Dhanush will avenge the death of his father. Playing a daily wage labourer, he will be seen in a fierce avatar. The film is bankrolled by Kalaipuli S Thanu, who had recently bankrolled VIP 2. The star cast of this film also includes veteran actor Pasupathi and director Balaji Sakthivel. Dhanush and Pasupathi had earlier shared screen space in Sullan in 2004.
