Director R. Velraj, who plans to reunite with actor Dhanush for the second time after the success of Tamil film "Vela Illa Pattathari", is yet to sign a heroine yet for the project. He says he's still busy finishing the script.
"We still haven't signed any heroine for the project. Dhanush heard a couple of lines of my story and really liked it. He expressed keen interest to work (with me) again and I'm currently busy working on the script. This will also be another commercial entertainer," Velraj told IANS.
"I can't tell at the moment when we plan to start working on the project. But if all goes well, it might happen very soon," he said.
Meanwhile, "Vela Illa...", which is the most profitable film of the year, is all set to be remade in Telugu soon. There are also rumours that Dhanush is likely to star in the film's Hindi remake.
Dhanush is currently busy shooting for R. Balakrishnan's "Shamitabh" as he awaits the release of Tamil actioner "Anegan".
