D54 shooting progresses swiftly; New still featuring Dhanush sparks buzz

The makers of D54, Vels Film International, have unveiled a new still from the upcoming Dhanush – Vignesh Raja collaboration. The image features Dhanush inside an old-school STD/ISD/PCO booth, speaking on the phone – a setting that has sparked speculation about the film’s timeline. Could this hint at a 90s or early 2000s backdrop? The makers are keeping the details under wraps, but the intrigue is real.

The film stars Mamitha Baiju as the female lead, and boasts a solid supporting cast including Jayaram, KS Ravikumar, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Karunas, and more. Music for this big-budgeted venture is being composed by GV Prakash Kumar, marking another exciting collaboration.

With shoot currently in progress, the buzz around D54 is slowly picking up, especially with Dhanush stepping into a period setting guided by Vignesh Raja’s sharp directorial style.
