Aishwaryaa R. Dhanush to direct Telugu film

Rajinikanth's daughter says it's a family drama

Having directed two films in Tamil — 3, and Vai Raja Vai — superstar Rajinikanth’s daughter Aishwaryaa R. Dhanush is all set to direct one in Telugu.
Lyca Productions will be bankrolling the family drama.

Producer Allirajah Subaskaran says he shares a great rapport with Rajinikanth’s family. “We have seen her directorial skills and she’s truly amazing. We always wanted to collaborate with her creatively. Recently, she called and narrated a family drama script to us. We felt it was ideally suited for Telugu sensibilities. We thought it was also a great opportunity for us to bankroll a straight Telugu film, so we decided to team up with her,” explains Subaskaran.

Asked about the cast and crew, he says, “We are yet to come to that stage, but we are planning to take the film on the floors in the next two months.”

Though Aishwaryaa declines to give details of the plot, she says she’s thrilled with the opportunity to direct a film that has a universal plotline. “It’s an exciting phase for me and a challenging opportunity to venture into a genre which I have not touched upon so far. It’s a family drama and I certainly believe it is ideal for a Pan-India audience,” Aishwaryaa shares, adding that she’s almost done with the script.
