\"NelsonSai Abyankkar has been confirmed as the music director for Dhanush’s upcoming film, ‘D55’. This collaboration marks a significant milestone for the young composer, known for the hit song ‘Katchi Sera’. The announcement revives fan interest in the project, directed by Rajkumar Periyasamy. Further updates on cast and concept are anticipated. Speculations on the reunion of Superstar Rajinikanth and Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan<\/a> on screen have literally sent fans into a frenzy for a long time now. The two icons are set to come together on-screen after 46 years, making their new movie the most historic collaboration in Tamil cinema. In the middle of all this, the latest bit of information that has been doing the rounds is about Nelson Dilipkumar<\/a> being chosen as the director for the mega-movie. The movie is said to be based on dark comedy or a full-on fun entertainer that perfectly fits in with Nelson\u2019s style involving wacky yet well-perceived comedy, powerful character building, and strong characters. Industry circles are already calling this a perfect creative match for such an iconic pairing.<\/p>\n

Multiple directorial changes before Nelson\u2019s entry<\/p>\n

According to a report by News18, the film\u2019s director selection went through several twists before Nelson was finalized. It was first believed that the film\u2019s direction would be assumed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. Thereafter, Sundar C was apparently confirmed and was at an advanced stage of negotiation. However, Sundar C\u2019s exit also led to speculation. Furthermore, Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan were apparently wanting a comedy film rather than a serious movie. Therefore, it was humor and dark comedy preferred over serious content, and the writer who signed off was Nelson Dilipkumar. <\/p>\n

A special promo is planned to officially announce the collaboration<\/p>\n

In order to make a big announcement, the makers are planning a special promo video to lift the veil on the Rajinikanth-Kamal Hasan-Nelson collaboration. The shoot for the special promo will kick off next week. Instead of the usual poster outing, the team is planning a flashy announcement to show the grandeur of this project.<\/p>\n

Shooting timeline linked to Rajinikanth\u2019s current commitments<\/p>\n

There are also reports that the complete shape of the Nelson-Kamal-Rajini movie will occur only after the completion of Rajinikanth\u2019s current projects, including his next movie, tentatively titled \u2018Thalaivar 173,\u2019 with the announcement that Cibi Chakravarthy will be the director. After finishing all those works, this mega-multi-starrer will go to the sets. All in all, the inclusion of Nelson Dilipkumar as a director is being viewed as ‘a game-changer’ for this legendary mega combination, with expectations soaring, and the movie is anticipated to be one of the most awaited films in the Tamil film industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sai Abyankkar has been confirmed as the music director for Dhanush’s upcoming film, ‘D55’.
