Vijay Sethupathi and director Gokul will be collaborating for a film called Junga. While the film is reportedly a ‘whacky comedy’, it is, however, not the sequel to their earlier film together Idharkuthane Aasaipattai Balakumara (2013). Junga will be shot partially in Europe.
According to a Times of India report, the movie will be a rom-com with Siddharth Vipin composing the music and Sabu Joseph doing the edit. While the makers are yet to finalise the female lead, it is speculated that it might be Amy Jackson. A report from March 13 states that Amy Jackson is likely to come on board for the project.

A source told ToI that the title of the film carries the hint to the film’s main suspense part, and hence, it cannot be explained. The film’s shooting will take place in August this year.
Gokul, who directed the fantasy horror Kaashmora last year, has reportedly begun working on Junga‘s script.
