STR 48 - The Silambarasan starrer produced by Kamal Haasan to start rolling in February

Silambarasan made a massive comeback to films after a prolonged low phase, with the back-to-back successes of Maanaadu and Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu. The multi-faceted talent is now set to team up with some of the most promising talents in Tamil cinema for his upcoming projects. As reported earlier, Simbu is joining hands with the young filmmaker Desingh Periyasamy for his 48th outing in cinema. The project, which is tentatively titled STR 48, is bankrolled by legend Kamal Haasan under his home banner, Raaj Kamal Films International.

STR 48 pre-production progressing in Chennai

If the latest reports are to be believed, the pre-production works of STR 48 are currently under progress at the Chennai office of production banner Raaj Kamal Films International. The grapevine suggests that director Desingh Periyasamy and the art department of the film are currently working with around 30 graphic artists to create the core design of the film. The reports suggest that the team is planning to make a visually rich period action film.

However, it is yet to be revealed if the director and his graphic artist team are planning to also create an announcement or title reveal teaser for the film right now. The unconfirmed reports suggest that STR 48 will be an out-and-out action film that will have some well-crafted stunt sequences featuring leading man Silambarasan and other prominent stars.
