Dil Raju, the leading Telugu producer, is bankrolling Thalapathy Vijay's upcoming family entertainer 'Varisu'. Fans are highly anticipating this movie which is slated to storm the screens on January 11. Meanwhile, it is being said that a Pan-Indian Tamil actor is going to team up with producer Dil Raju.

Sources say that Dhanush has signed a movie with Dil Raju's Sri Venkateswara Creations. This film, to be directed by Kishore Reddy (Sreekaram fame), is said to be made on a grand scale. However, an official confirmation is awaited. It is worth mentioning that Dhanush has already done 'Vaathi' with Telugu director Venky Atluri and also has an untitled film with Sekhar Kammula.

On the work front, Dhanush is currently shooting for 'Captain Miller' by director Arun Matheshwaran. On the other hand, other recent reports revealed that the rising star Sivakarthikeyan has signed a new project to be funded by Dil Raju and directed by Harish Shankar (Gabbar Singh fame). The venture was expected to go on the floors by February.
