Mumbai: A fresh wave of excitement has hit film fans as reports circle that Dhanush may soon swap the director’s chair for an even bigger stage. The buzz comes at a busy moment in his career with the actor about to feature in Tere Ishk Mein and juggling major projects behind the scenes. If these talks turn into reality it would be a high profile pairing of filmmaker Dhanush with superstar Rajinikanth that fans have only dreamt about.
Dhanush is all set to play the lead in Tere Ishk Mein, a romantic drama directed by Aanand L. Rai. He will be seen opposite Kriti Sanon and the film is scheduled to release on November 28, making it one of the most anticipated releases this season. The reunion with Aanand L. Rai has already raised expectations among audiences.
Dhanush To Direct Rajinikanth
The latest industry buzz says Dhanush is in talks to direct Rajinikanth for the project currently known as Thalaivar 173. Several outlets report that the idea of Dhanush helming a Rajinikanth film has generated massive excitement in Kollywood and beyond. At this stage talks are believed to be ongoing and no final announcement has been made.
The abrupt change of the director comes after Sundar C left the movie. It is reported that Sundar C left the project on grounds that he had creative differences and that such announcement was made by Sundar C himself and not the production. The producers and team are now actively searching for the right director to take the film forward.
The situation has been publicly discussed by producer and actor Kamal Haasan who said that they would continue searching until they get a script and director satisfactory to the star and the makers. He further said that as an investor he wants a script, the lead is comfortable with, and that they will continue to finalise a quality story before moving ahead. This careful approach explains why the makers are taking their time before making any formal announcements.
Along with the directorial buzz, reports also note that Dhanush is busy with other big projects. He is working on a role in the Jailer sequel and continues to be one of the busiest actors in the industry. Some outlets even referred to the Jailer sequel as a milestone addition to his filmography. The combination of these projects makes this a very important phase in Dhanush’s career.
For now fans are waiting for an official confirmation from the makers. If Dhanush does take on the director’s role it will be a major conversation starter and will likely become one of the most talked about collaborations in Indian cinema. Until then the industry will watch every update closely and hope for a formal announcement soon.
Tere Ishk Mein is directed by Aanand L. Rai and stars Dhanush and Kriti Sanon. The film is set to release on November 28. Meanwhile Thalaivar 173 is backed by Kamal Haasan as a producer and had earlier brought Sundar C on board before he opted out. The makers have said they are searching for the right story and the right director before moving forward. With Dhanush reportedly in talks the film could take an exciting new direction but official details remain pending.
