Lingusamy has been sharing a great rapport with Madhavan, ever since they worked together in ‘Run’. Now it looks like the actor may again join hands with Lingusamy for his next film with Silambarasan in lead role.
Reported to be an action-thriller, the film is produced by Lingusamy under the banner of Tirupathi Brothers. Touted to be a cop story, Madhavan is expected to play the brother’s role of Thamannah, the female lead.
With Lingusamy’s previous film ‘Paiyaa’ still doing a great business at box office, the filmmaker is so confident that he will gain more appreciation after this film.
Nonetheless, Madhavan hasn’t confirmed his role in this film and the Telugu version of Lingusamy’s untitled film will have Mahesh Babu in lead role.
