The Tamil film industry is buzzing with anticipation for actor Dhanush's next major project, tentatively titled 'D55'. Directed by Rajkumar Periyasamy, the film is currently in its pre-production phase, with shooting scheduled to commence early next year.
Shifting Speculations on the Female Lead
The casting for the film's heroine has been a topic of intense speculation. Initial reports suggested that Pooja Hegde was being considered for the female lead. This was soon followed by rumors indicating that Meenakshi Chaudhary had been finalized for the role. However, in a surprising new development, Cinema Express reports that Sai Pallavi has now emerged as the unexpected frontrunner to star opposite Dhanush.
Fan Frenzy for a 'Rowdy Baby' Reunion
The possibility of a Dhanush and Sai Pallavi collaboration has sent waves of excitement through their fanbase. The duo previously shared the screen in the film 'Maari 2', where their incredible on-screen chemistry and the blockbuster song 'Rowdy Baby' became a massive cultural phenomenon. Fans have been eagerly demanding a reunion ever since, making this potential casting one of the most talked-about topics. If confirmed, this pairing is poised to be one of the biggest highlights of the 2025 cinematic calendar.
Awaiting Official Confirmation
Despite the exciting reports, the production team has not issued any official statement regarding the final cast. The conflicting information about the heroine selection, from Pooja Hegde to Meenakshi Chaudhary and now Sai Pallavi, has left fans in a state of hopeful confusion. The anticipation for an official announcement is growing daily, as audiences wait to see if the beloved 'Rowdy Baby' pair will indeed grace the screen together again in 'D55'.
Meanwhile, Dhanush remains a busy star. He is currently wrapping up the shooting for a film directed by Vignesh Raja, expected to be completed in a few weeks for a February release. Furthermore, his Bollywood venture, 'Tere Ishk Mein', is set to hit the screens at the end of this month. With a packed slate of films and new directorial projects, Dhanush continues to keep his fans on a high note of expectation.
