Kamal Haasan announces Sandiyar with director SU Arun Kumar
Kamal Haasan has announced his next film, Sandiyar, ahead of his 72nd birthday.
SU Arun Kumar is directing the film, which is expected to be a gritty, grounded action drama.
It is reportedly set in Madurai, a city in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu.
Anirudh Ravichander will compose the music, reuniting with Haasan after Vikram and Indian 2.
Haasan had once planned to use the title Sandiyar for a film he wrote and directed, but changed it to Virumaandi after objections from some groups.
The makers have revealed the title and a first-look poster, but have not shared further details about the film.
More information is expected as the project develops, though no release date is given.
