November 28, 2025 Published by anbuselvid8bbe9c60f

In a stunning turn of events that has set Kodambakkam buzzing, the highly anticipated project D55 is undergoing a massive production change. Initial reports confirm that Madurai Anbu’s Gopuram Films has officially stepped away from the project, with Dhanush himself stepping in to bankroll the film under his home banner, Wunderbar Films.

The Spark: Budget vs. Vision

The project, which brings together Dhanush and director Rajkumar Periasamy (fresh off the monumental success of Amaran), was launched with great fanfare just weeks ago. However, sources reveal that “creative and budgetary differences” became the wedge between the director and the production house.

Insiders suggest that following the massive success of Amaran, director Rajkumar Periasamy envisioned D55 on a significantly larger canvas, demanding a budget that matched a pan-Indian spectacle. Reportedly, the projected costs—potentially driven by high-value casting choices and technical requirements—exceeded the business viability calculations of Gopuram Films. Despite attempts to mediate, producer Anbuchezhiyan reportedly stood firm on his budgetary constraints, leading to a mutual decision to part ways.

Wunderbar to the Rescue

Not willing to compromise on the film’s creative potential, Dhanush has decided to take matters into his own hands. The National Award-winning actor will now produce D55 under Wunderbar Films, ensuring the director’s vision remains intact.

This move marks a significant aggressive return for Wunderbar, which has been ramping up its slate with projects like Nilavuku En Mel Ennadi Kobam and Idli Kadai. Fans are already celebrating the move, viewing it as a testament to Dhanush’s confidence in the script and his commitment to delivering quality cinema without compromise.

With Wunderbar at the helm, D55 is now expected to proceed full steam ahead, promising a raw and gritty action drama that fans have been waiting for.
