After the failure of Thug Life, Simbu has moved on to his next projects. He is currently playing the lead in Arasan directed by Vetrimaaran. At the same time, pre production work is progressing quickly for his upcoming film with Ashwath Marimuthu.
According to reports, Ashwath Marimuthu is keen to cast Mrunal Thakur as the female lead. Discussions are also said to be underway with Santhanam for a crucial role. The project has already generated curiosity among fans.
If Mrunal Thakur signs the film, it will mark her debut in the Kollywood industry. She has previously expressed interest in working in Kollywood during interviews. Many believe this collaboration could finally make that long pending debut happen.
Social media users have reacted positively to the speculation. Some pointed to Ritika Singh and Kayadu Lohar, noting that actresses in Ashwath Marimuthu films often gain strong visibility. They feel Mrunal Thakur could also benefit from a well written role.
At the same time, Mrunal Thakur’s recent films have not delivered the expected results. Industry observers say she needs a solid comeback to strengthen her market position. The success of this Kollywood venture could therefore be crucial.
There is no official confirmation yet regarding her casting. It remains to be seen whether Mrunal Thakur will make her Kollywood debut with Simbu’s film. Until then, the speculation continues to build anticipation.
