CHENNAI: Known for his films Eetti starring Atharvaa and GV Prakash Kumar’s Ayngaran, filmmaker Ravi Arasu is in talks with actor Vishal for a project. The discussions are going on for a long time. Now after things are being finalised, DT Next exclusively learns that the film is all set to start soon.

This film would be Vishal’s next after Madha Gaja Raja with Sundar C and Rathnam helmed by Hari. Ravi is looking to score a hatrick and has penned a gangster-drama. Our Tinseltown source reveals that Dushara Vijayan, who was last seen in Vikram-starrer Veera Dheera Sooran, is being finalised to play the female lead.
