Actor Dhanush is now working on two movies simultaneously, and they are the Vetrimaran directorial Asuran and the Durai Senthil Kumar directorial Pattas, and both the movies are expected to release back to back by this year end, with Asuran expected to be the first release.

Earlier, impressed by the debut movie of Mari Selvaraj, Pariyerum Perumal, Dhanush had signed to star in the second movie of the director and it was announced that this movie will be produced by Kalaipuli S Thaanu.

While the shooting of this movie is expected to begin only by next year, there are speculations making rounds in the industry that this upcoming project that brings together Dhanush and Mari Selvaraj might be titled as Karnan. While an official clarification is awaited, it must be noted that before a decade, Dhanush had starred in Thiruvilaiyadal Aarambam, again inspired by the Sivaji classic Thiruvilaiyadal.
