Udayanidhi Stalin had tweeted: “Happy to announce my next project with director Priyadarshan sir! Produced by Moonshot Entertainment Santhosh Sir (sic).

The buzz is that the movie will go on the floors by July end and will be shot in the interiors of Tamil Nadu.
Priyadarshan, whose last project was the Mohanlal-starrer Oppam, is said to be directing the remake of the movie in Hindi too.  

In an earlier interview, he had told Express that Viacom has acquired the  rights to remake Oppam and he will indeed be doing that project in Hindi.
