To commemorate the 10-year anniversary of “Raanjhanaa,” Aanand L Rai and Dhanush are collaborating on an untitled love story with an action backdrop. The script has been in development for some time, and Aanand L Rai is finally ready to begin filming early next year. According to a source close to the project, the actor and director have met multiple times over the past few months and have recently signed the agreement.
The decision to announce the film around the anniversary of “Raanjhanaa” is due to its special significance in Aanand L Rai’s heart. “To celebrate a decade of this musical love story, Aanand L Rai and his team are preparing a special announcement for the audience,” the source added.
The core plot of the untitled action love story will be set in the heartland of India, similar to Aanand L Rai’s previous hits like “Tanu Weds Manu,” “Tanu Weds Manu Returns,” and “Raanjhanaa.” In addition to Dhanush, the makers are in talks to cast an A-list actress for the female lead and assemble a talented ensemble cast for the film.
