Tamil star Silambarasan TR’s next, tentatively called STR 49, was launched with a grand pooja ceremony on Saturday, May 3. The film is written and directed by Ramkumar Balakrishnan of Parking fame.
Dawn Pictures, the banner backing the film, released stills from the ceremony to announce the news.
The new film, also starring VTV Ganesh, marks a reunion between Simbu and actor-comedian Santhanam after 2015’s Vaalu (the comedian had appeared in a cameo in 2016’s Idhu Namma Aalu).
STR 49, announced in February, has music composed by Sai Abhyankkar and features Kayadu Lohar of Dragon fame as the female lead. Manoj Paramahamsa is set to crank the camera while Philomin Raj serves as the editor. Aakash Baskaran produces the film under his Dawn Pictures banner.
Meanwhile, Silambarasan’s 51st movie is with Dragon-maker Ashwath. Simbu, who is awaiting the release of Kamal Haasan-Mani Ratnam’s Thug Life, has teamed up with Desingh Periyasamy for his 50th film, tentatively called STR 50.
