Currently working with a team of writers on the final draft of the screenplay, the filmmaker will begin prep for the film by early October. Aanand has already locked the schedule and will be shooting extensively in Uttar Pradesh. The romance drama sees Dhanush play an angry young man, Shekhar. While the leading lady is yet to be finalised, Aanand has made plans to wrap up the movie in a three-month start-to-finish schedule for a release around mid-2024. Meanwhile, the south star will complete his second directorial venture—a gangster drama revolving around three brothers—which also stars SJ Suryah and Vishnu Vishal. The actor, who has Captain Miller lined up for release later this year, is also expected to wrap up director Sekhar Kammula’s untitled film until then.
