Dhanush is having quite a few projects on the anvil post Padikathavan. While he is set to join brother Selvaraghavan for Maalai Nerathu Mayakkam, there is also the remake of the Telugu superhit Arya. The one that seems like Trisha’s unable to make room for Dhanush filmtaking off first is Polladhavan director Vetrimaaran’s untitled project. According to reports, the story this time will be set in Madurai and it will involve Anglo Indian characters. Trisha was the first choice for playing the female lead. However the lady has put the offer on hold due to her other commitments. She too is fully loaded with work being part of a Telugu mega project, followed by a bit of work for the Telugu remake of Abhiyum Naanum. The Dhanush-Vetrimaaran project now has to scout for other alternatives or wait to see whether any adjustment with Trisha’s dates is possible. The project should go on floors soon.

Kanthaswamy was almost complete except for a song. Recently, the crew was at Italy shooting a song sequence featuring Vikram and Shriya. This song sequence witnessed Shriya adorned with a costume worth a jaw dropping amount of Rs. 26 lakhs. Lo behold, this is not the end. She was wearing diamond jewelry costing a whopping Rs. 6 crores. It was reported that the hiring charge alone for the jewels was Rs. 5 lakhs per day. The crew was heard saying that they had canned the film in places in Italy which has not been visited hitherto by any film team. Kanthaswamy, directed by Susi Ganesan and produced by Thanu, is turning out to be a very expensive project indeed.
