Pooja Hegde to pair with Dhanush in Rajkumar Periasamy’s real-life inspired drama ‘D55’?

Director Rajkumar Periasamy, who earned critical acclaim for Amaran, is all set to collaborate with Dhanush for his next ambitious venture, tentatively titled D55. The film, officially bankrolled by Gopuram Films, is confirmed to be based on a real-life incident: a hallmark of the director’s storytelling style that combines human emotion with grounded realism.

In an interaction months ago, Rajkumar Periasamy revealed that D55 will center on “people who are left unnoticed in society but play crucial roles in our daily lives.” This intriguing premise suggests another socially relevant narrative from the filmmaker, following his success with Amaran.

Adding to the excitement, industry buzz suggests that actress Pooja Hegde may star opposite Dhanush, marking their first on-screen collaboration. If confirmed, this would bring a fresh dynamic to the film’s emotional core. Likewise, reports also indicate that D55 could feature music by Sai Abhyankkar, whose youthful compositions are expected to bring an innovative soundscape to the project.

While the casting and musical team remain speculative for now, the confirmed combination of Dhanush and Rajkumar Periasamy itself has generated immense anticipation among fans. With Gopuram Films backing the project and the story rooted in relatable social themes, D55 is shaping up to be a compelling and thought-provoking addition to Dhanush’s diverse lineup.

Dhanush, who was recently seen in the superhit Idli Kadai, has an impressive slate of upcoming projects – including collaborations with Por Thozhil director Vignesh Raja, Lubber Pandhu filmmaker Tamizharasan Pachamuthu, a period drama with Mari Selvaraj, and the much-anticipated Bollywood venture Tere Ishk Mein.
