Known for taking at least two years to make a movie, Bala seems to be on a fast track as far as his forthcoming film, which is tentatively titled 'Eriyum Thanal', is concerned. For, the director has already completed its first schedule of shooting.

With Atharva and Vedhika playing the lead roles, the film is reportedly about the lives of fishermen in the southern districts of Tamil Nadu. Script is by popular writer Jeyamohan, who earlier worked with Bala in 'Naan Kadavul'.
