Jim Sarbh to play a crucial role
Jim, who has worked only in Hindi cinema so far, will make his south debut with this film. Welcoming him on-board, the makers shared the news on X, writing, “A master of his craft @jimSarbh is now immersed in the enchanting universe of #DNS. Brace yourself for his masterclass performance.” While Jim gained fame for playing grey or antagonistic roles in films like Neerja, Padmaavat and the web series Made in Heaven, a source close to the development informs Hindustan Times that the actor doesn’t play the villain, but a ‘crucial role’ in the film.
More about #DNS
The makers have remained tight-lipped about the film’s story, but shooting resumed earlier this month. Dhanush shot for some crucial scenes so far and the makers have a schedule planned for this month and next.
