Ever since director Shankar attended the pooja ceremony of Dhanush’s upcoming film D55, social media has been filled with speculation. Many fans believe the director may cast Dhanush in his dream project Velpari. The rumours quickly gained attention across film circles.
According to the latest buzz, Velpari could feature two lead actors in important roles. Because of this, reports suggest that Shankar may be planning to bring Bollywood actor Vicky Kaushal on board alongside Dhanush. However, there is no official confirmation yet.
If Vicky Kaushal agrees to the project, it would mark his debut in Kollywood. Velpari is expected to be mounted on a massive budget and planned as a Pan-Indian film. Many believe it could be a strong entry for the actor into South Indian cinema.
At the same time, the casting speculation has also triggered mixed reactions online. Some viewers feel Velpari, being a Tamil fictional epic, should feature Tamil actors in the main roles. They worry that casting a Bollywood star might affect the cultural authenticity.
Meanwhile, several Kollywood trackers have dismissed the rumours as premature. They point out that Shankar is currently under pressure due to his pending film Indian 3. According to them, the director may not be in a position to move forward with Velpari right now.
These observers believe Shankar will focus on completing Indian 3 before starting any major new project. Some even suggest that Lyca Productions could take legal action if the director delays the film further. Because of this situation, Velpari may not begin soon.
For now, there is no official announcement regarding the casting of Velpari. It remains to be seen whether Vicky Kaushal will actually join the project. Fans are waiting for clarity on how Shankar’s dream film will eventually take shape.
