It has been more than a year since Kaala released and we haven't heard much about director Pa Ranjith's next. He was announced to do a Hindi film, about the life history of the tribal leader, Birsa Munda and the pre-production works for that film progressed at a rapid pace. However, we now hear that this film might take some time to launch due to various reasons, and in the meantime, the Madras director is looking forward to making a Tamil film.

Our sources close to the director tell that it will be an intense film that will have the backdrop of boxing. It will be a multistarrer film and it is said that Ranjith is keen to rope in Karthi to play the main lead. It is added that this project will go on floors very soon if things fall in place. If Karthi couldn't take it up, Arya might most probably be the next choice for Ranjith.

Baahubali antagonist, Rana Daggubati and veteran actor Sathyaraj have been finalized as the other leads. So, it is either going to be Karthi, Rana, and Sathyaraj or Arya, Rana, and Sathyaraj as the main leads. The rest of the cast is yet to be locked and we will get more details in the coming days. It is going to be interesting to see three great performers act in a Pa Ranjith film.

It is said that this is a script that Ranjith had penned even before Kabali, but couldn't materialise it at that time. It looks like things are falling in place now. Stay tuned to this space for more updates on this exciting project.
