Days after AGS Cinemas announced their production venture, starring Vijay in the lead and directed by Atlee, the makers confirmed that Nayanthara would be playing the heroine in the movie.
Atlee and Vijay come together after blockbusters Theri and Mersal.
Nayanthara, the busy bee in Kollywood today, had earlier acted with Vijay in Villu, which saw lukewarm response at the box office.
Almost all the crew members, who worked with Atlee in Mersal, have been retained for the project.
Music composer A R Rahman and lyricist Vivek are again teaming up for this project.
G K Vishnu, who made his debut with Mersal, has been chosen for the film. Editing is by Antony Ruben, stunts by Anal Arasu and art direction by Muthuraj.
Veteran comedian Vivekh plays a key role.
