D50 - Is THIS the title of Dhanush’s upcoming directorial? Here’s what we know...

D50, directed by Dhanush, is one of the most ambitious projects of the actor. The Captain Miller star had announced the completion of the film’s shoot in December 2023, but is yet to reveal any other details, including the title.
