In return, it is said that Gautham Menon has reportedly given the nod to direct four films under Ishari Ganesh's banner, the first of which, titled Joshua: Imai Pol Kaakha, is set to star the producer's nephew, Varun, as the male lead. The film finally saw the light of the day in November 2019. However, things took a turn for the better, after producer Ishari Ganesh of Vels Film International came on board to release the filmmaker's long-delayed project, Enai Nokki Paayum Thotta ( ENPT), starring Dhanush and Megha Akash. His films got postponed multiple times, and more importantly, he was said to be caught in a web of financial issues, with the South Indian Film Financiers’ Association (SIFFA) supposedly taking a call to stop financing his films till he released pending projects. Interestingly, Karunas’ son, Ken, plays a pivotal role (the younger son of Dhanush's character) in Asuran.ĭirector Gautham Menon had been missing in action after his 2016 film with Simbu.
Karunas had previously been a part of Vetrimaaran’s Polladhavan, which also starred Dhanush. Vetrimaaran, however, acknowledged the request of Karunas and muted the line from the film. While Vetrimaaran’s big-screen adaptation of Poomani’s Vekkai novel, Asuran, received widespread acclaim for the portrayal of its Dalit protagonist (Dhanush playing a middle-aged father who faces caste oppression), actor-politician Karunas expressed his disappointment over the line ‘ Aanda Parambarai’ in the film, which he said denoted his ‘ Mukkulathor’ community. There are now unconfirmed reports that Bala's version might soon get a Netflix release. The new version, titled Adithya Varma, which featured October-fame Banita Sandhu as the female lead, was then released to watered down response from the audience.
They went on to shoot a completely new version from scratch with a new crew, retaining only the lead, Dhruv, and Arjun Reddy-music director, Radhan. Reports now suggest that Simbu, who has been hitting the gym to prepare for the role, will begin shooting for the project in January.ĭirector Bala's completed version of the Tamil remake of the Telugu blockbuster Arjun Reddy, titled Varmaa, which was scheduled for release in March, was scrapped at the last moment by the film's production house, E4 Entertainment, which cited dissatisfaction with the film's final cut.
However, the intervention of the producers' council, in October, seems to have resulted in a truce of sorts. Simbu, meanwhile, flew to Thailand, but not before announcing a new film titled Maghaa Maanaadu, to be produced under his own production banner.
