Gautham Menon to make a military-based action thriller with Anushka Shetty

For the last few months, there have been reports about Gautham Menon teaming up with Anushka Shetty for a female-centric film. The director finally confirmed this in a recent interview. Interestingly, he is planning to make a military-based action thriller with Anushka. It is learnt that the actress will be performing a lot of stunts in the film.

Anushka is one of those very few top heroines from the South to have proven her skills in performing stunt sequences. She has done extensive action blocks in films like ‘Arundhati’, ‘Rudhramadevi’ and the ‘Baahubali’ series. So it will be exciting to see her back in action in Gautham Menon’s film. Dr Ishari K Ganesh will be producing the film under the banner of Vels Films International.

Anushka has been away from films for nearly two years now. Her last full-length appearance was in the Tamil-Telugu bilingual ‘Bhaagamathie’. She recently played a cameo role in the multi-starrer ‘Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy’. The actress is set to make her comeback with a Hollywood Crossover thriller film titled ‘Nishabdham’.

Shoot for Gautham Menon’s film is expected to begin by the end of the year after the director wraps up his other commitments. He is currently working on the Varun starrer ‘Joshua Imai Pol Kaakha’. There is also another schedule pending for his ambitious spy-thriller ‘Dhruva Natchathiram’.
