Raayan already boasts a star-studded cast. The first look was unveiled a few days ago, and we got to know that Kalidas Jayaram and Sundeep Kishan are part of the film.

Dhanush acts in, directs and is the scriptwriter for Raayan
Dhanush, who was last seen in Captain Miller, is directing Raayan. He has also written the script for the film. Reports suggest that the film is a gangster drama high on action, with the actor playing the role of the titular cook. However, circumstances lead to Raayan’s past being unravelled as a gangster. Kalidas and Sundeep are expected to play his brothers in the film. Raayan is set in north Madras.

Speculation was rife that Raayan was a script penned by Selvaraghavan and was supposed to have featured actors Ajith, Dhanush, and Bharath as three brothers. However, recently the filmmaker clarified on social media that Raayan’s script is solely Dhanush’s brainchild and that he is associated with the project only as an actor. A release date for Raayan is yet to be announced by the makers.
