Telugu super star Balakrishna is all set to do a direct Tamil film now. The star will soon start working on Varuvan Thalaivan, a bilingual being made in both Tamil and Telugu. The first look of the film was recently released in Chennai. The film is directed by debutant Sekarraja and also has Manoj Manchu in prominent role. The film is produced by Lakshmi Manchi, daughter of veteran actor-filmmaker Mohanbabu.

Varuvan Thalaivan's audio launch is likely to take place in Chennai in June and the film will hit screens in July.
