THIS actress in talks for Pradeep Ranganathan’s next; A fresh on-screen pairing in making, Sci-fi twist sparks buzz |
Reports claim that Meenakshi Chaudhary is in talks to star with Pradeep Ranganathan in his new film, leading to renewed hopes. Pradeep Ranganathan, who has already made an impact as an actor and filmmaker with the hit movie ‘Love Today,’ has left a mark focusing on the youth. Having completed ‘LIK,’ directed by Vignesh Shivan and set to be released soon, he is now also working on another self-directed venture. This not only showcases his talent but also his growth.
Sci-fi action shift puts spotlight on female lead casting
What makes this project particularly interesting is its genre. Unlike his previous films that drew from the romance and modern youth genres, Pradeep is said to be venturing into sci-fi coupled with action. This clearly puts the spotlight on casting, specifically for the actress in the lead role, who is supposed to be integral to the film as opposed to being a regular role. Having said this, the name of Meenakshi Chaudhary has come up by reports which have suggested that she is the leading candidate.
Potential milestone role for Meenakshi
Meenakshi Chaudhary is mainly in South Indian films and has been spoken highly of for her beauty and acting skills. If a communication turns into a contract, this will be a landmark event for her in the Tamil film industry. A report from The Hindu says that there would certainly be enough meat in terms of her character, and it will have an effect on the storyline. An opportunity for her to showcase her talent. It is also quite a different role for Meenakshi, and the pairing with Pradeep is something we have not seen before.
March shoot and end-of-year release plans build anticipation
The film is expected to go on floors in March, and the plan is to finish it in one schedule. The team are now eyeing a release next year, and already there is much enthusiasm about the film, even as it is in the early stages of production. With Pradeep Ranganathan returning to direct after the phenomenal success of ‘Love Today’ and Meenakshi Chaudhudhary being the frontrunner for the heroine’s role, there are a lot of eyes on this project which is already being touted as a new-age experiment. Fans and followers are eager to see how this collaboration will shape up, especially with its unique concept and a strong central female character.
