The shooting of Dhanush's 25th film Velaiilla Pattathari (meaning jobless graduate), began in Chennai today. The film is directed by Velraj with Amala Paul as the leading lady. Anirudh Ravichander is the music director.

Dhanush is truly on cloud nine as both of his recent release, Raanjhana in Hindi and Maryan in Tamil were appreciated by the critics and audience alike. He has signed up films with KV Anand, Suraaj and Vetri Maran.
