Lingusamy to direct Kamal Haasan
If rumors are to be believed, director Lingusamy may direct Kamal Haasan.
Sources claim that the director is working round the clock to complete the script as soon as possible.
The duo had previously worked in 2015's Uttama Villain, which was also co-produced by them.
Despite the positive reviews, the film failed to set cash registers ringing at the box office.
The new film will be jointly produced by Lingusamy's Thirupathi Brothers and Pen Movies.
