The rumours are rife that Dhanush will be starring in the dual roles of a father and son in Netrikkan. The original movie had Rajinikanth and Menaka, mother of actress Keerthy Suresh, in the leads. The Tamil film was written by Visu and legendary filmmaker K Balachander, while SP Muthuraman had directed the project.

Interestingly, Menaka's daughter Keerthy Suresh is being considered to play the female lead in the latest film. It has to be noted that the moment rumours of Dhanush remaking Netrikkan surfaced online the cine-goers' instantly suggested her name as the female lead.

Keerthy Suresh and Dhanush had earlier worked in Thodari. Their chemistry had worked well in the film. However, the news has not been confirmed by any of the parties associated with the rumoured project.

It may be recalled that Dhanush had remade Rajinikanth another hit movie Mappillai.
