Dhanush,
the
National
award-winning
actor
had
made
his
directorial
debut
in
2017
with
the
acclaimed
movie
Pa
Paandi.
After
the
success
of
the
multi-starrer,
it
was
reported
that
the
actor-filmmaker
is
all
set
to
kickstart
his
second
outing
as
a
director.
The
project,
which
was
titled
Naan
Rudhran,
was
supposed
to
feature
Dhanush
himself
in
the
lead
role.
But
later
it
was
reported
that
Naan
Rudhran
has
been
shelved
after
the
production
banner
Sri
Thenandal
Films
backed
out
from
the
project
due
to
financial
crisis.
However,
the
recent
reports
suggest
that
Dhanush
is
currently
considering
the
possibilities
to
revive
his
dream
project,
and
is
in
talks
with
both
the
old
banner
and
a
few
other
production
houses.
The
actor-director
might
join
hands
with
Sri
Thenandal
Films
once
again
if
the
banner
is
ready
to
fund
Naan
Rudhran
once
again.
If
it
doesn't
happen,
Dhanush
might
join
hands
with
a
leading
production
banner
of
the
Tamil
film
industry
and
relaunch
the
project.
An
official
confirmation
on
the
same
is
awaited
soon.
Naan
Rudhran,
which
is
said
to
be
a
period
drama
set
in
the
pre-independence
ear,
features
senior
actor
Nagarjuna
Akkineni
in
a
pivotal
role.
Aditi
Rao
Hydari
appears
as
the
female
lead
opposite
Dhanush
in
the
movie,
which
features
an
extensive
star
cast
including
SJ
Suryah,
Sarathkumar,
Srikanth,
in
the
supporting
roles.
When
it
comes
to
his
acting
career,
Dhanush
will
be
next
seen
in
the
highly
anticipated
upcoming
project
Jagame
Thandhiram,
which
marks
his
first
collaboration
with
the
talented
filmmaker
Karthik
Subbaraj.
The
movie,
which
was
originally
slated
to
hit
the
theaters
as
a
summer
2020
release,
is
currently
postponed
indefinitely
due
to
the
coronavirus
threat
and
lockdown.
