Sometime ago, it was announced that Karthik Subbaraj will team up with Dhanush for a project predominantly shot in the US, and produced by Sri Thenandal Films. However, the film has apparently been put on the back-burner as Dhanush is gearing up to commence shooting for his Hollywood project, The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir in May.
Karthik Subbaraj has, therefore, reportedly signed on to direct another film starring Prabhudeva.
According to a reliable source, talks have been initiated with the Devi actor. “It’s true that Karthik has pitched a story to Prabhudeva, but he is yet to give his nod. It’s too early to spill the beans on the project as nothing has yet been made official.”
Actress Samyuktha Hegde, who rose to fame with the hit Kannada film Kirik Party, has also been approached for the project. It is rumoured that she signed on to the project even though her dates were clashing with her Kannada film, Kaleej Kumar.
An official announcement on this project is expected to be made later this month. Meanwhile, Prabhudeva is committed to his next Tamil directorial, Karuppu Raja Vellai Raja, which he is supposed to commence work on from June. The film stars Vishal, Karthi and Sayyeshaa in the lead.
