Gautham Menon`s next hero doesn`t look chocolate boy like Naga Chaitanya. He is actually Simbu`s rival, Dhanush. Dhanush himself confirmed the news of the fructification of what he calls 'years of discussion ' between him and Menon. '..finally it all boils down to Yenai nokki paayum thotta. After Kodi, my next is with Gautham vasudev menon,' Dhanush took to Twitter saying this.

The actor with a pan-South Indian familiarity value is tight-lipped about the film. Most probably, the film will belong to the action genre. Menon, who has never been secretive about his admiration for Simbu`s work (in a chat with SS Rajamouli, Menon openly said that Simbu`s performance in the Tamil version is better than Naga Chaitanya`s in Ye Maya Chesave), has chosen Dhanush this time. The film will probably be launched in the first week of March.

Dhanush`s Hollywood commitment, The Fakir, will go on the floors after he is done with Menon`s film. Meanwhile, we await the release of Saahasam Swasaga Saagipo, the Naga Chaitanya starrer.
