Actress Nithya Menen is set to star in Dhanush’s upcoming directorial venture, ‘Idli Kadai,’ marking their second collaboration after the critically acclaimed ‘Thiruchitrambalam.’ Speaking about her role in recent interviews, Nithya expressed excitement and hinted at a character that will push her creative boundaries.
“If Shobana from Thiruchitrambalam demanded me to step out of my comfort zone, then Idli Kadai demands double of that,” she shared with News 18. Nithya further elaborated on the director’s vision, stating, “Dhanush has once again given me the opportunity to perform a character that no one would picture me performing.”
‘Idli Kadai,’ produced by Dawn Pictures, Red Giant Movies, and Wunderbar Films, boasts a talented team behind the scenes. GV Prakash Kumar, who has recently collaborated with Dhanush on projects like ‘Vaathi,’ ‘Captain Miller,’ and ‘Nilavukku En Mel Ennadi Kobam,’ will be composing the music. The film also features renowned cinematographer Kiran Koushik, editor Prasanna GK, and production designer Jacki.
While further details about the cast are awaited, reports suggest that veteran actor Rajkiran may also be part of the project.
Nithya Menen is currently busy with several other projects, including ‘Kadhalikka Neramillai,’ ‘Dear Exes,’ and a yet-to-be-titled film with Vijay Sethupathi.
