Post the completion of Kaala, director Pa Ranjith was actively involved in the scripting and pre-production works of his Hindi debut film, which is based out of the life of Birsa Munda. However, since the film took time to take off, Ranjith decided to do a quickie in Tamil, a multistarrer featuring Arya, Kalaiyarasan, and Attakathi Dinesh in the lead roles. We had already reported about this project and revealed that it would be a film that would focus on the sport of boxing set in North Madras backdrop.

The latest update that has been doing the rounds in Kollywood circle is that the film has been titled as Salpetta. Given the theme and setting of the premise, the title looks suitable. We will have to wait for few more days for the official announcement from the makers.

Going by the track record, Santhosh Narayanan might score the music for this film as well. Salpetta is said to be produced by Shreya Sri Movies LLP, who produced the critically acclaimed Kurangu Bommai, directed by Nithilan Swaminathan.
