Following the success of their films Pollathavan, Aadukalam and Vada Chennai, Asuran is the fourth film in which director Vetrimaaran and Dhanush are working together. Kalaipuli S Thanu will be producing the film.
Actress Manju Warrier is currently working with actor Mohanlal in the Malayalam film Lucifer, directed by actor Prithviraj Sukumaran, and another movie titled Jack And Jill.
