Vijay Sethupathi and Shruti Haasan to team up for the first time

It seems like Vijay Sethupathi is in no mood to slow down. The actor already has a bunch of projects lined up and we now hear that he has committed for yet another one. SP Jananathan will be directing a new movie with the Makkal Slevan, which has been tentatively titled as ‘Laabam’. Shruti Haasan us most likely to be the female lead. If it she hops on board, it will be the first film of Sethupathi and Shruti together.

SP Jananathan is a National award winning director noted for his films like ‘Iyarkai’ and ‘Peranmai’. It must be noted that the director has previously worked with Vijay Sethupathi in ‘Purampokku Engira Pothuvudamai’, which also had Arya in a major role. For his new movie ‘Laabam’, Telugu actor Jagapathi Babu has reportedly been zeroed in as the antagonist. Arumuga Kumar is producing the movie. Official announcement of the movie is still awaited.

Vijay Sethupathi is currently shooting in Kerala for ‘Maamanithan’, directed by his mentor Seenu Ramasamy. The actor is also set to make his Malayalam debut this year with ‘Marconi Mathai’ directed by Sanil Kalathil. He will be playing one of the leads in the movie alongside Jayaram.
