One of his two films with the production house will be directed by RS Durai Senthil Kumar. Dhanush has previously worked with Durai in Kodi, starring Trisha, Anupama Parameswaran, Saranya Ponvannan and Kali Venkat in pivotal roles.
His second with Sathya Jyothi will be directed by Ram Kumar of Mundasupatti and Ratsasan fame. The director had earlier said in an interview that the film will be a fantasy comedy with Dhanush as the lead.
Director Ram Kumar reportedly told IANS, “The scripting work is still underway because Dhanush sir is occupied with two other commitments. This film has a fantasy-based subject, with good scope for comedy. Due to many reasons, my second film took a lot of time. It won’t happen this time. We hope to wrap up Dhanush sir’s film in six months after it goes on floors.”
