A.R. Rahman on board Vijay's next Tamil outing
Chennai, Dec 31
Double Oscar-winning composer A.R. Rahman has finally given
his consent to be part of Vijay's yet-untitled next Tamil outing, to be directed
by Atlee.
The project will roll from March next year. Although Rahman
has agreed in principal, he's yet to sign on the dotted line.
'The makers are waiting to make the official announcement once
he signs, which might take a few more days. However, Rahman, verbally, has agreed
to be part of the project,' a source from the film's unit told IANS.
While the genre of the film still remains a mystery, it has
to be seen whether it will be shot in the US as speculated so far.
'The film won't be completely shot abroad. Atlee has plans
to shoot a few scenes either in the US or in Europe. He hasn't decided where
to shoot yet, and this process could easily take a few more weeks,' the source
said, confirming that the film's shoot might commence from February or March
next year.
Sri Thenandal Films will be bankrolling this project, which
is rumoured to also feature Vadivelu and Mottai Rajendran in supporting roles.
Kajal Aggarwal and Samantha are slugging it out for the role
of female protagonist.
