It's not father-in-law Rajini, but Dhanush for Anand

KV Anand's next project has been making noise from past couple of months. It was said that the director was in talks with superstar Rajinikanth and they would be joining hands for the first time. But to everybody's surprise, the filmmaker has not chosen him, rather his son-in-law Dhanush for his forthcoming Tamil film.

Excited Dhanush was first to announce the news on social networking site Twitter. He wrote, "Yes guys. Much to the delight of you all and myself, I'm doing a film with KV Anand sir. The technicians are yet to b finalised. (I will) shoot from August." However, the actor has not opened up anything about the film further.

Dhanush is currently busy with his debut Hindi film Raanjhanaa and Tamil film Mariyaan. On the other end, cinematographer-turned-director KV Anand started his directorial career in 2005 with Kana Kandaen. He has also helmed successful films like Ayan, Ko and Maattrran.
