The shooting for actor Dhanush's highly anticipated 54th film, tentatively titled 'D54', has officially concluded. The project, directed by Vignesh Raja, who made a mark with the acclaimed thriller 'Por Thozhil', has now moved into the post-production phase, building significant excitement among fans and industry watchers alike.
A Star-Studded Cast and a Viral Celebration
The film features a prominent ensemble cast. Making her debut opposite Dhanush is the popular South Indian actress Mamitha Baiju, who rose to fame with the hit film 'Premalu'. The supporting cast includes notable names such as Suraj Venjaramoodu, Jayaram, Karunas, K.S. Ravikumar, Prithvi Pandiarajan, Kushmita, and Nitin Sathya, all playing pivotal roles.
Following the final shot, the team celebrated with a cake-cutting ceremony on set. Photos and videos from this event quickly spread across social media. Mamitha Baiju particularly captured fans' hearts with her candid moment of enjoying a pastry during the festivities, a charming reaction that went viral online.
Hints at a Gritty and Intense Plot
Earlier promotional material has strongly suggested that 'D54' will be a serious, high-stakes narrative. The announcement poster depicted Dhanush standing on burning ground with the powerful tagline: "Sometimes staying dangerous is the only way to stay alive." Furthermore, a still released on the actor's birthday, showing him in a vintage telephone booth, has sparked widespread speculation about the film's potential time period and setting, adding to the mystery.
Powerful Technical Crew and Release Timeline
Given director Vignesh Raja's previous success with the gripping crime thriller 'Por Thozhil', expectations are high for 'D54' to deliver a similarly intense and innovative storyline. The film is backed by a robust technical team. The music is being composed by G.V. Prakash Kumar, a frequent and successful collaborator with Dhanush. Cinematography is handled by Theni Easwar, and editing by Srijith Sarang.
With the shooting wrapped, the project has now entered the crucial post-production stage. The team is working towards a target release in February 2026. Fans are eagerly awaiting what promises to be another significant milestone in Dhanush's illustrious career.
