Vijay Sethupathi Teaming Up With Award-Winning Flimmaker M. Manikandan Of Kaaka Muttai
Filmmaker M. Manikandan of critically
acclaimed National Award-winning Tamil drama “Kaaka Muttai” fame will next team
up with actor Vijay Sethupathi for a yet-untitled project in the language.
“Vijay really
liked the script. He’s excited to team up, but he’s yet to give us dates as
he’s busy with multiple projects. If everything goes well, we may start work on
this film from December,” Manikandan told IANS.
Talking about
the film, he said: “It’ll be something very quirky and away from regular
cinema. Unlike ‘Kaaka Muttai’, it’ll deal with a lighter subject with good
scope for humour. But it won’t be a full-length comedy”.
He also said
that the story will be set against the backdrop of Chennai city.
The project will
be produced by G.N. Anbu Chezhiyan of Gopuram Films.
Meanwhile,
Manikandan’s second Tamil directorial “Kutrame Dhandanai” is in its
post-production.
The
crime-thriller features Vidharth and Pooja Devariya in the lead.
Maestro
Illayaraja has been roped in to compose the background score.
“He is currently
busy with another project and as soon as he’s done with it, he will start
working on ‘Kutrame Dhandanai’,” he said.
