Kollywood filmmaker Prem Kumar C, who delivered two back-to-back modern classics, 96 and Meiyazhagan, is gearing up for his next project. 96, starring Vijay Sethupathi and Trisha, tugged at audiences’ heartstrings by exploring the emotional reunion of ex-lovers, while Meiyazhagan, headlined by Karthi and Aravind Swamy, beautifully portrayed human emotions.
Prem Kumar initially was supposed to do his third film with versatile actor Chiyaan Vikram, but plans have now changed. In a recent interview, the director revealed that his upcoming film will instead feature Fahadh Faasil in the lead role. He also confirmed that the project with Vikram has been delayed.
The Fahadh Faasil starrer will be an action thriller laced with Prem Kumar’s signature emotional depth. The director impressed Fahadh with a gripping 45-minute narration, and it will mark the actor’s first-ever Tamil solo lead film, outside multistarrers. The shooting is scheduled to begin in January 2026.
After the massive success of Gadar 2, Hindi star Sunny Deol and director Anil Sharma are all set to team up once again for a biggie.
As per the latest update, their new project has been titled Coal King and is said to be a gritty action drama based on the ruthless world of the coal mafia.
The film will reportedly showcase Sunny Deol in a raw and intense avatar, exploring power struggles, crime, and survival in the coal belt.
Known for delivering high-voltage dramas, Anil Sharma is said to have crafted a story that blends action with strong emotions. Stay tuned for more.
