A biopic on the life and music of maestro Ilaiyaraja is now on the anvil.
Reliable resources report that the actor chosen to play Ilaiyaraja is Dhanush.
"Dhanush has long desired to play Ilaiyaraja. To be actually able to play the composing genius is a dream come true for Dhanush," a source close to the project tells Subhash K Jha.
As part of the preparation, Dhanush will spend time with Ilaiyaraja to grow familiar with his work mode.
The film will be produced by Connekkt Media, which is currently making the Mohanlal starrer, Vrushabha.
The director for the Ilaiyaraja project is yet to be finalised.
The project will commence shooting in mid-2024.
