Mumbai, October 31 - Tamil star Dhanush is all set to headline the biopic of music maestro Ilaiyaraaja and the movie will go on floors in 2024 for 2025 worldwide release, according to senior journalist Latha Srinivasan who shared the news via X.

"It is confirmed that National Award-winning star Dhanush will be playing Isaignani Illaiyaraaja in his biopic. Sources added that the movie will go on floors in 2024 and will release in 2025. This is likely to be a huge project given that it is about one of India’s music legends and has uber-talented Dhanush playing the role. The project is said to be produced by Connekkt Media", the tweet reads.



Isaignani Illaiyaraaja is one of the most decorated Indian musicians. He has worked in over 1000 films and has been awarded Padma Vibhushan and Padma Bhushan by the government of India along with 5 national awards.

Interestingly, Yuvan Shankar Raja, who is the third and youngest child of Ilaiyaraaja, had said a few months back that he would love to see Dhanush playing the role of his father in his biopic and it seems, things are falling in place. However, the official confirmation from the makers is yet to be made.

Dhanush, meanwhile, is next gearing up for the release of the much-awaited "Captain Miller", which is scheduled to release on December 15, 2023, in multiple languages including Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam. The actor also has Sekhar Kammula's film that also stars Rashmika Mandanna. He also has a few more films in the pipeline.
