'Kaasi' ('Kaali' in Tamil), starring Vijay Antony in an emotional and intense role, is a story-based subject set in the backdrop of a village.  Just as in 'Bicchagadu', there is the element of mother sentiment in the film.  Directed by Kiruthiga Udhayanidhi, the movie also features Anjali, Sunainaa, Nasser, Shilpa, Amritha, Yogi Babu, RK Suresh, Vela Ramamurthy, and Jayaprakash are part of the cast.  

The news is that Vijay Antony Film Corp has refuted the rumours that the Telugu version's rights have been sold already.  "It has been brought to our notice that few have claimed that the rights are with them.  There is no truth in these rumours.  We are yet to sell the Telugu rights.  Wait until we officially announce the details regarding the same," the production house says.  

Vijay has teamed up once again with Bhasya Sree to write the Telugu version.  Bhasya Sree has previously penned 'Bicchagadu', 'Saithan' and 'Bethaludu' for the actor.  Music is by the hero himself.
