Dhanush
is
currently
enjoying
the
success
of
his
last
release
Pattas
which
arrived
in
theatres
on
January
15.
While
the
action
film
is
still
entertaining
the
crowd,
the
talented
actor
has
now
given
all
fans
one
reason
to
rejoice.
Well,
the
36-year-old
star
is
shooting
for
his
upcoming
project
Karnan
and
just
a
while
back
he
shared
the
first
still
from
the
sets
of
his
film.
Karnan,
which
is
being
directed
by
Mari
Selvaraj,
also
stars
Malayalam
actress
Rajisha
Vijayan
in
the
lead.
The
film
went
on
floors
earlier
this
month
and
currently,
the
cast
is
filming
in
Tirunelveli.
Produced
by
Kalaipuli
Thanu,
Dhanush
starrer
landed
in
controversy
not
too
long
ago
because
of
its
title.
Since
Karnan
is
an
iconic
film
that
was
helmed
by
Sivaji
Ganesan
back
in
1964,
a
lot
of
fans
were
upset
after
learning
the
title
of
Dhanush's
movie.
However,
the
controversy
seems
to
have
died
down
and
that's
good
news
for
everyone
associated
with
the
new
Karnan
movie.
Coming
back
to
Dhanush,
he
posted
a
still
from
the
film
on
his
Twitter
timeline
and
wrote,
"#karnan
shoot
in
progress." Going
by
the
picture,
we
think
Karnan
is
definitely
to
watch
out
for
this
year.
Don't
you
guys
agree?
Before
taking
up
this
film,
Dhanush
was
shooting
for
Karthik
Subbaraj's
directorial
venture
D40.
The
actor
wrapped
up
the
film
last
month
and
was
all
praises
for
his
director
Karthik.
He
had
tweeted,
"That's
a
wrap
for
D40.
One
of
the
quickest
films
I
have
done.
It
was
a
pleasure
to
work
with
such
a
quirky,
sensible
and
visionary
filmmaker
like
@karthiksubbaraj
this
one
is
going
to
be
special."
Co-starring
Sanchana
Natarajan,
Aishwarya
Lekshmi
and
James
Cosmo
in
lead
roles,
D40
is
the
temporary
title
of
the
film.
The
makers
will
officially
announce
the
film's
title
next
month.
Dhanush
also
signed
his
next
Bollywood
film
which
will
be
helmed
by
Aanand
L
Rai.
The
untitled
movie
will
also
star
Akshay
Kumar
and
Sara
Ali
Khan
in
lead
roles.
