Dhanush is married to Rajinikanth's daughter Aishwaryaa, who is also a filmmaker. In an interactive session on Twitter, Dhanush was asked about Rajinikanth's yet-untitled new film, which will be bankrolled by Dhanush's very own production house Wunderbar Films. Dhanush quickly responded saying the project will go on floors in mid-May. Meanwhile, Dhanush's first film as a director, Power Paandi, opened to great reviews both from the critics and the audience, on April 14. Power Paandi also fits in a cameo by Dhanush.

Rajinikanth's film with Pa. Ranjith will be his second collaboration with the director after 2016's blockbuster gangster drama Kabali. Rajinikanth's new film is expected to be yet-another gangster drama which will reportedly be set in Mumbai. Rajinikanth is also reportedly expected to undergo a complete makeover for his part in the film. Actress Vidya Balan is reportedly being considered to star opposite Rajinikanth in the film.

Meanwhile, Dhanush seems to have a very packed schedule this year as he is all set to reprise his character in the sequel of Velaiyilla Pattathari. The 33-year-old actor wrapped shooting for VIP 2 with Rajinikanth dropping by on the sets. Rajinikanth's elder daughter Soundarya has directed Dhanush in the film, which also stars Kajol and marks her comeback into Tamil cinema after two decades. "Wrapped shoot for VIP 2 today with our own thalaivar's blessings," Dhanush tweeted earlier this month.
