Dhanush is all set to make his directorial comeback with his third film, Idli Kadai, which will hit theatres on April 10, 2025, coinciding with the Tamil New Year. The announcement was made via a new poster shared by the actor-director on his social media platforms. Fans were quick to express their excitement, with many praising the strategic release date, which aligns perfectly with the long Tamil New Year holidays.
Dhanush Returns to Direction with ‘Idli Kadai’
Idli Kadai marks Dhanush’s third directorial venture after Pa Paandi (2017) and Raayan (2024). This time, Dhanush not only directs but also stars in the film alongside actress Nithya Menen. The film is set in a rural village, with the poster depicting Dhanush walking into an ‘idli kadai’ shop named Sivanesan. The tranquil village setting, complemented by a clear blue sky and birds soaring above, promises an engaging story, much to the delight of the fans.
Dhanush and Nithya Menen Reunite
Idli Kadai reunites Dhanush with Nithya Menen, his co-star in this heartwarming drama. The duo last appeared together in the 2022 hit Thiruchitrambalam, where they portrayed best friends who eventually became lovers. Their impeccable chemistry in Thiruchitrambalam won them accolades, with Nithya Menen even receiving the National Film Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role. Fans are eagerly awaiting the reunion of this dynamic pair on screen.
Film Details and Production
The film features GV Prakash’s music, Kiran Koushik cinematography, and Prasanna GK’s editing. Produced under Dhanush’s banner, Wunderbar Films, and Aakash Baskaran’s Dawn Pictures, Idli Kadai is expected to be an emotionally resonant film with rich music and stunning visuals. The storyline remains tightly under wraps, but the setting and concept have already piqued interest.
Dhanush’s directorial ventures have always been appreciated for their emotional depth and engaging narratives, and Idli Kadai is expected to continue that tradition. His fans are especially excited about the film’s potential to blend rural life with universal themes of love, struggle, and self-discovery.
