Dhanush’s next Idli Kadai

Dhanush shared Idli Kadai’s concept poster on his X account, writing, “#D52 #DD4 Om Namashivaaya (folded hands and heart emojis).” The poster shows a roadside shack against a starry night. A shopkeeper can be seen inside it while another man watches him. The film directed by Dhanush, will star him, but the rest of the cast is yet to be revealed. GV Prakash Kumar composes the film’s music, Kiran Koushik is the cinematographer, and Prasanna GK is the editor. Aakash Baskaran of Dawn Pictures produces the film with Dhanush’s banner Wunderbar Films.

In July, the Tamil Film Producers Council called out Dhanush for taking advances and not making films with producers. They temporarily banned him, requesting producers approach them before signing Dhanush. The issue has now been resolved, with Dhanush agreeing to pay back the amount he took from Five Star Creations and agreeing to do a film with Thenandal Films. This is Dhanush’s first Tamil film after the ban on him was lifted. It remains to be seen what other projects he has signed.
