Latest buzz in Kollywood is that the national-award winning actor Dhanush might produce a film starring Ilayathalapathy Vijay in the near future.

It is being said that Dhanush has approached Vijay and requested his dates for a new film that he will produce under his home banner, reported OnlyKollywood. However, there is no official confirmation regarding this.

Vijay is currently busy shooting for Murugadoss's "Kaththi" and it is likely to be wrapped up soon.

Post the completion of "Kaththi", Vijay will shift his focus to his next project, to be directed by Chimbudevan. The fantasy-based film will reportedly be produced by P. T. Selvakumar, who was Vijay's manager, and Shibu of Thameen Movies. The shooting of the film, referred as "Vijay 58", is expected to commence in September/October.
