Dulquer Salmaan, Trisha, and Jayam Ravi to Join Cast of Kamal Haasan's KH 234 Film?

After a long 36-year separation, famous actor Kamal Haasan and seasoned director Mani Ratnam are getting back together. The actor-director, who previously worked together on the cult masterpiece Nayakan, published in 1987, confirmed their impending collaboration last year.

The film, which will be Kamal Haasan's 234th appearance in the industry, has been given the working title KH 234. According to the most recent information, the casting for the Mani Ratnam film is nearing completion, and well-known actors Dulquer Salmaan, Trisha Krishnan, and Jayam Ravi may join the cast.

The pan-Indian superstar Dulquer Salmaan and well-known Tamil actor Jayam Ravi are reportedly in negotiations to play the key characters in KH 234. The rumour mill indicates that both actors are almost ready to join the lead cast of the Kamal Haasan-starring movie and may soon sign the dotted line, even if the producers have not yet responded to these reports.

The yet-to-be-titled project, which is touted to be a thriller, is scripted by director Mani Ratnam himself. Academy Award-winning musician AR Rahman is composing songs and the original score for KH 234. The movie is jointly produced by Kamal Haasan, Mani Ratnam, G Mahendran, and Siva Ananth under the prestigious banners, Raaj Kamal Films International and Madras Talkies. A massive update on the project is expected to be revealed in a couple of weeks.

If so, this will be the second production that Jayam Ravi and Dulquer Salmaan have worked on with director Mani Ratnam, following the successful Ponniyin Selvan franchise and the adored OK Kanmani, respectively. Additionally, KH 234 will be the actors' first on-screen collaboration with Kamal Haasan, the film's star.

The well-known South star Trisha Krishnan, according to industry sources, is stepping in as KH 234's leading lady. Even though the project hasn't been formally announced by the creators, rumours say that the Leo actress' selection for the role was made a long time ago. According to rumours, Trisha will work on the film for the third time with both Kamal Haasan, who plays the lead role, and Mani Ratnam, who is the director.
