Thalapathy Vijay’s son Jason Sanjay is all set to make his directorial debut in Tamil cinema with the film Sigma. The first look poster of the film was released recently. A recent report suggests that while Sandeep Kishan has been finalized for the lead role, Jason Sanjay originally wanted Dulquer Salmaan for the role.
Did Jason Sanjay initially want Dulquer Salmaan for Sigma?
According to a report online, Jason Sanjay had initially submitted the script of Sigma to Dulquer Salmaan. Apparently, the OK Kanmani actor liked the story during the first script itself and expressed interest in acting in the film.
However, due to Dulquer’s busy schedule, the team decided to cast a new lead, which eventually went to Sandeep Kishan. That said, this information is unconfirmed as neither the producers nor the actors have officially commented on it.
About Sigma
Sigma is the directorial debut of Thalapathy Vijay’s son, Jason Sanjay. The film is touted to be an action-adventure comedy revolving around a “lone wolf” protagonist who challenges societal expectations and goes in search of hidden treasures, featuring themes of high-risk criminal heists.
Written by Jason himself, the film is produced by Lyca Productions, with musical compositions by Thaman S.
According to a report in India Today, the film has completed a 65-day long shoot over a period of four months and almost 95 percent of the filming has been completed. Reportedly, only one song sequence is left to be shot, after which the film will go into post-production.
Apart from Sandeep Kishan, the film also stars Faria Abdullah, Raju Sundaram, Anbu Thasan, Yoga Japi, Sampath Raj, Kiran Konda, Magalakshmi Sudarshan and many others in lead roles. Apart from this, some actors are also rumored to appear in cameo roles.
Dulquer Salmaan’s work front
Dulquer Salmaan will be next seen in the Tamil period drama thriller Kantha. Directed by Selvamani Selvaraj, the film revolves around superstar TK Mahadevan, who ruled the silver screen in the 1950s.
As he begins filming for his new project Kaantha, directed by his guru-turned-enemy, a series of incidents occur that disrupt the production. With rivalries and intense emotions at the centre, the film is expected to explore the dynamics of a gripping, dramatic thriller.
Apart from Dulquer, the film also stars Bhagyashree Borse, Rana Daggubati, Samuthirakani and many others in lead roles.
