Anu Emmanuel signs Gautham Menon's next

It looks like Anu Emmanuel is the new golden girl of the South Indian film industry. After signing films with Pawan Kalyan, she is now set to star in director Gautham Menon’s next film, starring Vikram in the lead.

Apparently, the Majnu actress won’t play the female lead but will play a key role in the thriller which will primarily be shot in the US.

“She was finalised after several names were considered because of her US connect,” reveals a source. A female lead is yet to be zeroed in on. Buzz is that A.R. Rahman will score music for the film.

The film will see Vikram play a RAW agent who’s out to solve a murder mystery. The film will be shot at several foreign locales like the US, UK and Dubai.
