Rajisha to play the female lead in Dhanush’s next with Pariyerum Perumal fame Mari Selvaraj?

As reported by us earlier, Dhanush has committed for a movie with director Mari Selvaraj of ‘Pariyerum Perumal’ fame. Kalaipuli S Thanu of V Creations is producing the movie, which has tentatively been titled as ‘Karnan’. Buzz is that Malayali actress Rajisha Vijayan is in talks to play the female lead in the film. The makers are yet to announce this officially, but it will be huge if it turns out to be true.

Rajisha is easily one of the most talented heroines in Malayalam at present. She won the Kerala State Award for Best Actress for her performance in her debut film ‘Anuraga Karikkin Vellam’. After a couple of lacklustre outings, she did the coming-of-age flick, ‘June’ that emerged as a big hit at the box office. She is currently awaiting the release of ‘Finals’, which has her in the role of a cyclist.

If Rajisha has indeed signed Dhanush’s film it will prove to be a big launch for her in Tamil. Director Mari Selvaraj’s debut film ‘Pariyerum Perumal’ was widely rated as one of the finest movies in Indian cinema last year. Naturally, his film with Dhanush has high expectations among the Tamil audience. They are planning to start shoot by the end of this year. We still await a formal announcement.
