There have been reports in the media recently that noted cinematographer Ravi K. Chandran was all set to wield the megaphone and he had chosen Dhanush as his lead protagonist.

But the 7 Aum Arivu cameraman denied the news though he did admit that he had plans to turn filmmaker.
Once again, there is a buzz that Karthi, who is busy wrapping up his Saguni and working in Suraj's untitled film, has been approached by Chandran.

Close sources say that Chandran felt that Karthi would be apt for his action-romance script and has narrated a one-liner story to him.
