Kamal Haasan has made a notable change to his upcoming film schedule, with his next project now set to be directed by SU Arun Kumar. This shift comes after initial expectations that Haasan would collaborate with the action choreographer-director duo Anbariv for his immediate next film. According to reports from Tamil cinema circles, the SU Arun Kumar film is currently in pre-production and is expected to begin shooting soon.
SU Arun Kumar has gained recognition for his content-driven films such as 'Sethupathi', 'Chithha', and most recently, 'Veera Dheera Sooran', which was well received by audiences. The decision to prioritise his project with Kamal Haasan signals a strong creative direction, as Arun Kumar is known for his distinctive storytelling style. While an official announcement regarding the revised lineup is still awaited, sources indicate that the Anbariv project has not been shelved but will commence after the completion of the Arun Kumar film.
Despite this change, Kamal Haasan remains one of the busiest names in Indian cinema. He continues to be involved in high-profile ventures, including 'Kalki Part 2', and is also expected to team up with Nelson Dilipkumar for the much-talked-about KH x RK project. In addition to his acting commitments, Haasan is also engaged as a producer across several other films.
The industry is closely watching how this new collaboration between Kamal Haasan and SU Arun Kumar will shape up, given both their reputations for quality cinema.
