Kamal Haasan, Thoongaavanam director to work again

Rajesh M Selva will direct Kamla Haasan in a new film, after their first outing together Thoongaavanam. Selva has assisted Kamal before.

Actor-filmmaker Kamal and his erstwhile assistant Rajesh M Selva will be working together again in a yet untitled Tamil actioner. Thoongaavanam was their last outing together. “Kamal will team up with Rajesh for another project later this year. It will be an out-and-out action film that’s most likely going to be shot in Mauritius,” said a source close to Haasan.

According to the source, this project was supposed to happen even before Thoongaavanam. “Things didn’t work out back then. Hence, they’re reuniting now to work on it. It’s most likely to go on the floors later this year,” the source added.

Kamal, meanwhile, is busy putting together the cast for his next Tamil outing with filmmaker TK Rajeev Kumar. In this project, Shruti Haasan will team up with her father for the first time.
