Dhanush’s Next Project Commences Production!
Actor Dhanush K Raja had his last outing in the heist action thriller movie Kara crafted by Vignesh Raja with actress Mamitha Baiju in the female lead role. The Naane Varuvean actor had recently signed on the dotted line for his upcoming project, tentatively titled D 56. Story teller Tamizharasan Pachamuthu, who previously directed the critically acclaimed movie Lubber Pandhu, has written and is directing the project.
Actress Preity Mukhundhan of Anbil Avan fame has been paired with actor Dhanush for the first time in her career. We now have news that the drama has gone on floors following a small pooja ceremony at a temple in Sivaganga. Filming for the project is set to take place across several locations in and around Sivaganga and Madurai. The production house has set summer of 2027 as the release window for the film. The makers themselves have announced the news on social media.
Taking to their official X account, the team of Sithara Entertainments dropped a video of the D 56 pooja ceremony and captioned it, “D56 – Here’s a glimpse of a grand beginning to an exciting journey.

The nearly two-minute promo video opens with a shot of the temple gateway tower of Maranadu Karuppanaswamy temple. Then a tracking shot shows us the preparations that are underway for the pooja event. Then we witnessed a large crowd carrying a billhook to the pooja event. Subsequently, artists start to arrive for the function. Amidst a large gathering of supporters, actor Dhanush arrives at the venue.
D 56 is touted to be a gangster action movie set against a rugged rural backdrop. Actor S J Suryah is reportedly playing the antagonist in the venture. Veteran actor Vadivelu will be seen in a prominent role in the drama. The star cast of the venture also includes director and actor Vijay Kumar of Uriyadi fame, Kaali Venkat, Aruldoss, Adhisheshan K R, and Hari Rajan.
