Dhanush is still talking about his options for a commercial entertainer which will be produced by 7 Screen Studios. While initially the project was expected to be led by H. Vinoth, recent industry reports suggest that the filmmaker is no longer attached, with Siruthai Siva and Sirai director Suresh Rajkumar now among the most likely to helm the film.

According to industry buzz, Dhanush is seeking mass masala entertainers that combine action, emotion, family sentiment and commerciality. The project will have a wide audience and will show the actor in a big, larger-than-life part.

Siruthai Siva is another name Dhanush would like to work with among the others. Known for leading commercially successful entertainment with emotional stories that are highly emotional, Siva has carved out a career that combines action-packed storytelling with family-oriented stories. If it happens in fact, Dhanush and the director will have a first joint production-grade film together.

But at the same time, Suresh Rajkumar who recently gained attention for Sirai is also being considered for the project. His storytelling style and fresh cinematic approach have gotten him into the camp with a lot of people and he is another candidate for the film.

The project was originally linked to H. Vinoth and was much awaited by fans. But due to the filmmaker having other projects to work on, the production team are now trying other things before they are completely done.

Dhanush is taking his time to make sure that he has the right director for the movie to match his vision for a commercial blockbuster, said sources. Dhanush has been working on a lot of things - acting, writing, directing and production - so this is a big one for his upcoming slate.

Although the makers have yet to announce the director or any additional details about the cast and crew, there is a lot of interest in the project in the hands of fans. Social media discussions are still going on as to which filmmaker would be best for Dhanush’s next mass entertainer.

Industry observers feel that an official announcement could be made once the script, director and production schedule are finalised. Until then, fans will be eagerly waiting to see if Siruthai Siva or Suresh Rajkumar will helm one of Dhanush’s very eagerly awaited upcoming films.
