Director Kalyan had directed two movies, Kadha Solla Porom in 2016, which went unnoticed, and had made a mark with last year's comedy entertainer Gulaebhagavali starring Prabhu Deva, Hansika Motwani, Revathy, Yogi Babu and Motta Rajendran.

Currently the director is awaiting the release of his next movie, Jackpot starring Jyothika and Revathy in lead roles, and the first look posters of the movie were released recently. Also starring Anandraj, Yogi Babu, Mansoor Ali Khan, Jackpot is a comedy entertainer produced by Suriya's 2D Entertainment.

Even before the release of Jackpot, which is currently in post production phase and is expected to hit screens in June, the director has reportedly signed his next project. Kalyan will next be directing a horror comedy movie, that will have his Gulaebhagavali heroine Hansika in lead role and an official announcement on this project will be out soon.
