It was only a while back that producer S Sashikanth’s Y Not Studios banner had officially announced that the upcoming venture tentatively titled Production No. 18 will see director Karthik Subbaraj joining hands with National Award-winning actor Dhanush. Initially, Dhanush had revealed in 2016 itself that he would be doing a film with Karthik Subbaraj with both of them since then going on to be held up with their own subsequent projects. With the film revealed to be an international gangster thriller to be shot predominantly in the United Kingdom, director Karthik Subbaraj and his team had earlier today held a final meeting and will be leaving for London to kick-off production in the next few days. Check out the tweet put up by Y Not Studios below:

Fans have been mighty excited for this project ever since it was revealed that it would be a gangster film and also because Dhanush has delivered hits like Pudhupettai and Vada Chennai in the same genre. Karthik Subbaraj too will be looking to carry forward the momentum after his blockbuster Petta with ‘Superstar’ Rajinikanth. There is plenty of talent in the upcoming project among whom include Malayalam actress and Mayaanadhi fame Aishwarya Lekshmi and Super Deluxe fame Ashwanth Ashok Kumar in starring roles. Santhosh Narayanan is scoring the music with cinematography by Shreyaas Krishna, editing by Vivek Harshan, art direction by Vinoth Rajkumar, stunts by Anbariv, choreography by M Sherif and Baba Baskar while Praveen Raja D is taking care of the costume designs, Sabari Girison as the chief make-up artist and sound design by Vishnu Govind and Sree Sankar.
