While Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan is deliberating between filmmakers Mani Ratnam and H Vinoth for his next film, buzz suggests that the actor is likely to helm work for the former's film first. The said film will see Haasan and Ratnam team up together after their iconic 1987 film Nayagan, which catapulted the actor to superstar status.
If social media speculation is to be believed, grapevine now suggests that the film is likely to rope in Trisha Krishnan as the film's leading lady with pivotal roles to be essayed by Jayam Ravi and Dulquer Salmaan. The film was announced on Haasan's birthday, last year but official details about the cast and the team of the film are yet to be finalised.
If this casting falls through then Ratnam will also collaborate with his Ponniyin Selvan and O Kadhal Kanmani actors again.
KH234 will be bankrolled by Udhayanidhi Stalin's banner Red Giant Movies and Haasan's home banner Raaj Kamal Films International. Ratnam, R Mahendran and Siva Ananth will also lend their weight behind the project as co-producers. Speaking about his association with Stalin, Haasan had expressed, “Working with like-minded individuals is stimulating. Looking forward to presenting this project along with Udhayanidhi Stalin.”
Echoing his sentiment, Stalin had also stated, “It is an honour for me to join hands with both Mani sir and Kamal sir. They are the pride of Tamil cinema."
Meanwhile, Haasan will work on his Vinoth’s next. Prior to this film, Vinoth had helmed Thunivu with Thala Ajith. The film is likely to go on the floors in October.
