Recent industry buzz suggests that Sai Pallavi may reunite with Dhanush for his upcoming film, tentatively titled D55, directed by Rajkumar Periasamy. While there hasn't been any official announcement from the team, the possibility of this collaboration has already generated excitement among fans and on social media.
If finalized, D55 would mark the second time Dhanush and Sai Pallavi share screen space, their first being in Maari 2 (2018), where their chemistry was well-received. The potential collaboration also highlights Rajkumar Periasamy and Sai Pallavi possibly working together again after the success of Amaran.
Rajkumar Periasamy's Amaran, starring Sivakarthikeyan and Sai Pallavi, received widespread acclaim. The director has described D55 as a story about unsung heroes who blend into society, with the protagonist representing them.
Sai Pallavi is currently in a strong phase of her career, also playing the role of Seetha in the ambitious Ramayana. The team behind Ramayana is aiming for a theatrical release on November 6th of next year, increasing anticipation for Sai Pallavi's upcoming projects. Should Sai Pallavi join D55, the team is reportedly planning to begin shooting early next year.
Some voices within the industry suggest that Sai Pallavi should carefully consider her lineup of films. They believe that if Ramayana becomes a significant hit, she will gain pan-Indian attention, making every project she undertakes highly visible. Therefore, she should assess D55 based on its own merits rather than simply because of the prior success of Amaran.
Dhanush announced the project earlier via his X handle. He expressed his excitement about collaborating with Rajkumar Periasamy. Rajkumar Periasamy also thanked producers Anbuchezhiyan and Sushmita Anbu of Gopuram Films for making the project possible.
D55 is expected to explore socially relevant themes. With Gopuram Films backing the project, the film is already highly anticipated within Dhanush's upcoming film lineup. While details about the cast and music remain speculative, the strong possibility of Sai Pallavi's involvement, combined with the confirmed collaboration between Dhanush and Rajkumar Periasamy, has set high expectations among fans.
