Tamil star Prashanth has teamed up with filmmaker Hari for an upcoming film. The project reunites the actor and the director, 25 years after their film Thamizh.

The news was announced today, April 6, on the occasion of Prashanth’s 52nd birthday. Tentatively called Prashanth 55, the film was launched at a special birthday celebration event in Chennai.

“I have known Hari sir for 25 years now. We promise to deliver a nice movie that satisfies all expectations. This film will have a fast-paced screenplay, one that will stand the test of time. People appreciate Thamizh even after 25 years, and I believe our upcoming film will replicate that,” said Prashanth at the event before thanking his father and veteran actor-producer Thiagarajan.

“As you all know, he likes to up-scale all his films, and when I asked how we’re going to mount a project that would appeal to the latest generation, he said ‘Don’t worry, let’s make it as big as we can.’ So I thank him for that,” he added.
