Tamil filmmaker Ashwath Marimuthu announced that he will commence shooting a new Silambarasan‑led project once he wraps up Rajinikanth’s upcoming film ‘Dharman’.
Tamil director Ashwath Marimuthu confirmed that production on a new film starring actor Silambarasan will start after he completes his current commitment on Rajinikanth’s upcoming project ‘Dharman’.
Marimuthu, known for his work on critically acclaimed titles such as “Maanagaram” and “Nenjuku Needhi”, has been linked with Silambarasan for several years, and the latest statement signals that the collaboration is moving forward.
The scheduling decision reflects the overlapping timelines of two high‑profile Tamil projects: Rajinikanth’s ‘Dharman’, expected to go on floors later this year, and the Silambarasan film, which will likely begin shortly thereafter. Industry insiders note that the back‑to‑back arrangement could help both stars maintain a steady release pipeline.
While details about the Silambarasan venture—including its genre, title and cast—remain under wraps, the announcement has generated buzz among fans and trade analysts who anticipate a strong box‑office draw for both movies.
