A Second Act for a Beloved Pairing
D55 marks the second collaboration between Sai Pallavi and Dhanush, following their first pairing in director Balaji Mohan's 2017 film, Maari 2.

In addition to Sai Pallavi, the film features actress Sreeleela, whose casting was announced on January 30, marking her debut collaboration with Dhanush. The music for D55 is being composed by the young and rising sensation Sai Abhyankkar, adding another layer of excitement to the production.
This film represents a significant milestone as Dhanush's 55th venture, and with Sai Pallavi on board, expectations are soaring. Fans are eagerly awaiting more details about the plot, release date, and other cast members as the project progresses.
