AR Rahman on board for Dhanush-Mari Selvaraj’s 'D56'

Earlier it was announced that, Dhanush is all set to collaborate once again with Mari Selvaraj for an untitled film D56. 

While the cast and crew of the film has not yet been announced, the film’s producer Ishari K Ganesh recently revealed that AR Rahman is on board as the composer for the upcoming film.

Apart from this, the producer also announced that Dhanush will be part of another film that they’re producing under the Vels banner.  However, he didn’t reveal who the director of the film will be.

Producer Ishari K Ganesh made the announcement while speaking at a pre release event of actor Shiva’s Sumo.

Earlier this month, sharing the news, director Mari Selvaraj wrote: “Overwhelmed to celebrate the 4th year of a journey forged by Karnan’s Sword! Thanks to everyone who celebrated and supported Karnan throughout the years!! Also, I am exhilarated to say that my next project is once again with my dearest Dhanush K Raja sir! This has been soaking in my mind for quite sometime now and I am very excited to be joining hands with him once again! This is my first with Ishari K Ganesh sir and I can’t be any happier! This is going to be a thrilling experience indeed! Here Roots Begin a Great War.”

The film was earlier reported to be produced by Dhanush under his banner Wunderbar Films.

Their previous venture Karnan, is a powerful socio-political drama set in a rural village where the oppressed community, led by the fearless Karnan (Dhanush), stands up against systemic injustice and police brutality.

While Dhanush has Kuberaa, by Sekhar Kammula, Tere Ishk Mein, by Aanand L Rai, in the pipeline, Mari Selvaraj is working on Bison: Kaalamaadan, a sports drama film that stars Dhruv Vikram and Anupama Parameswaran
