Director Atlee has established himself to be a powerhouse in Tamil cinema ever since he stepped into filmmaking in 2013 with his debut film, Raja Rani, starring Arya, Nayanthara, Jai and Nazriya in the lead roles. The young director then went on to become a sensation among fans after he directed the 'Thalapathy' Vijay blockbuster, Theri, in 2016. He then delivered a bigger box office success once again with Vijay in the 2017 film, Mersal, and after which they joined hands for the third time last year for the action sports drama, Bigil, which as well became a money-spinner.
Atlee, who is at present keeping himself busy with the script work for his tentatively titled, A5, took to his Twitter page to congratulate actress Samantha for the release of the teaser of her upcoming Telugu film, Jaanu, which is an official remake of the 2018 romantic drama, 96. Check out his tweet below:

Samantha was incidentally a part of Atlee's Theri and Mersal opposite Vijay with fans lapping up her performances in both films, which reportedly went on to collect over 400 crores together. Atlee is now working on A5, which many speculate is going to be with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, with reports a while back stating production will most likely roll out in the next few months while an official statement is now awaited. Samantha, on the other hand, will be seen in Jaanu, opposite Sharwanand, with 96 director C. Prem Kumar himself directing the Telugu version, which is being planned for a possible theatrical release in summer.
