Director Ponram, who gave back to back hits to Sivakarthikeyan (‘Varuthapadatha Vaalibar Sangam’, ‘Rajini Murugan’ and ‘Seema Raja’), is currently working on ‘MGR Magan’ starring Sasikumar in the lead.
His next film will feature Vijay Sethupathi in the lead role and it is expected to go on floors in May. Buzz is that the movie, which is yet to be titled, will be bankrolled by Karthik Subbaraj’s Stone Bench Productions in association with another company.
“The movie will be a rural masala entertainer set in the backdrop of Dindigul. Script works have reached final stage and it is being loaded with love, comedy, sentiments and action. It will be on the lines of ‘Rajini Murugan’,” sources state.
Meanwhile, ‘MGR Magan’ has reached its final stage of production and the film is likely to hit the screens soon. This too is said to be a village-based entertainer. According to sources, the story revolves around the son of an ardent fan of matinee idol-turned-Chief Minister M G Ramachandran.
