Dhanush likely to star in Tamil remake of Article 15

Reports suggest that the Vada Chennai star is in the race to acquire the remake rights of hit Bollywood film, Article 15, featuring Ayushmann Khurrana and Isha Talwar in the lead roles.

A source in the know of things says, “Dhanush watched the film and has expressed his interest to buy the remake rights. However, the makers of Article 15 are holding talks with other popular production houses in Kollywood as well. An official announcement will be made by the end of this month.” We also hear that Dhanush wanted to reprise Ayushmann Kurrana’s role in Tamil and has already begun working on it. Article 15 is an investigative thriller directed by Anubhav Sinha. The movie revolves around the rape and murder of two teenage Dalit girls in Uttar Pradesh’s Lalgaon. It is also worth noting that Dhanush has also bought the remake rights of Ayushmann’s earlier film, Andhadhun.
