Dhanush is currently awaiting the release of his film Kara, directed by Vignesh Raja. The film is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on April 30th.
At the same time, he is working on D55, directed by Rajkumar Periyasamy. The project is progressing steadily with Dhanush playing the lead role.
After D55, Dhanush is set to collaborate with Tamizharasan Pachamuthu for a mass commercial entertainer tentatively titled D56. The pre-production work for this film is currently progressing at a fast pace.
Earlier reports suggested that Rukmini Vasanth would play the female lead in D56. However, it now appears that she may not be part of the project due to call sheet issues.
Rukmini Vasanth is reportedly busy with NTR and Prashanth Neel’s pan-Indian project, Dragon. This has created complications in allocating dates for D56.
According to recent reports, the makers are considering Dhurandhar sensation Sara Arjun as the female lead. This speculation has quickly gained attention on social media.
Many Dhanush fans have expressed concern over this possible casting choice. They feel Sara Arjun is too young to be paired opposite Dhanush.
Fans also believe that there are several talented actresses in Tamil cinema. They suggest the makers should consider a suitable emerging Tamil actress instead.
Some users pointed out that the Dhurandhar team had already faced criticism for casting Sara Arjun opposite Ranveer Singh. They fear a similar reaction for D56.
Another concern raised is the age gap. Reports suggest that Dhanush is 22 years older than Sara Arjun, which has added to the debate online.
However, there is no official confirmation yet. It remains to be seen whether Sara Arjun will be finalised as the female lead in D56.
