8 Thottakal director's next with Atharvaa

Director Sri Ganesh, former assistant to director Mysskin, made his debut with the recently-released 8 Thottakal, starring Vetri, Aparna Balamurali, Nasser and MS Bhaskar. The film, which released alongside Kaatru Veliyidai on April 7, has been receiving accolades from audiences as well as critics. The young director has now already moved on to his next project.

Rumours have been making rounds that Sri Ganesh might be collaborating for a project with Atharvaa. A source close to the team reveals, “It is true that Sri Ganesh will be teaming up with Atharvaa for his second directorial. This project will be in complete contrast to his debut film 8 Thottakal, which was an intense crime thriller. The project is in its nascent stage. An official confirmation on the same will be out soon.”

The source adds that Sri Ganesh would soon start the scripting work for the film in a couple of weeks. Barely a week old, 8 Thottakal has managed to grab everyone’s attention and it has got the director an opportunity to work with a leading actor in his second film only. Once the scripting job is done, the team will finalise the rest of the cast and crew. Watch this space for more details!
