Earlier reports suggested that director Ahmed (Endrendrum Punnagai) would be directing Udhayanidhi in Idhayam Murali, but a new report in the Times of India says that the duo has decided to do the Jolly LLB remake first and that shooting starts from August 20. Other reports suggest that Ahmed – Udhayanidhi Stalin project has been put on hold. At the time of publication, the picture on the director remained hazy, and Silverscreen was not able to obtain further information.
Currently, Udhayanidhi Stalin is busy shooting for his upcoming film Gethu, directed by Thirukumaran (Maan Karate). Actress Amy Jackson plays Udhayanidhi’s love interest in the movie which also has Karunakaran and Vikranth in important roles.
