Aishwarya Rajesh in talks for Sibiraj’s next

Aishwarya Rajesh, who earned acclaim for her role in Kaaka Muttai last year, is currently in talks to pair opposite Sibiraj in debutant director R. Manikandan’s next. Sources say Aishwarya has expressed her liking for the script and is expected to sign on the dotted line soon.

Manikandan, a former associate of Eeram fame Arivazhagan, was supposed to collaborate with Sibiraj for a detective thriller two years back, but the project did not materialize. Now, they are teaming up for a dark comedy, which will roll out soon. Santhosh Kumar Dhayanidhi, who made an interesting debut in Inimey Ippadithaan, has been roped in to compose music for the film.
