Dhanush’s home banner Wunderbar Films has officially revealed its next project, tentatively titled Production 20. The announcement marks another step in the production house’s continued effort to back fresh voices in Tamil cinema while balancing star-driven ventures.
The film will be written and directed by Ramesh Nandhan, who makes his feature film debut with the project. Having previously worked in the space of music videos, Ramesh now transitions into long-form storytelling with a film that is expected to introduce a new creative vision under the Wunderbar banner.
Joining Dhanush on the production front is Haritha Lingasamy of Primark Productions, indicating a collaborative push behind the scenes. Details regarding the film’s cast and technical crew remain under wraps for now, adding a layer of intrigue to the announcement.
A banner with a track record of bold choices
Since its inception, Wunderbar Films has built a reputation for backing distinctive and often unconventional projects. The company’s first production, 3, directed by Aishwarya Rajinikanth, set the tone for a banner willing to experiment with narrative styles and emerging talent.
Over the years, the production house has delivered a diverse slate that includes commercial entertainers and critically acclaimed films. Titles such as Ethir Neechal and Velaiilla Pattadhari showcased mainstream appeal, while films like Kaaka Muttai and Visaranai earned critical acclaim and international recognition.
Happy to announce our next venture – #Wunderbar20, in association with Primark Productions.

The banner has also backed stylish crowd-pleasers such as Naanum Rowdydhaan and large-scale ventures like Kaala, starring Rajinikanth. With Vada Chennai, Wunderbar further cemented its credibility in delivering layered storytelling rooted in realism.
Most recently, the banner produced Idli Kadai, which was both directed by and starred Dhanush, reinforcing his growing presence as a filmmaker in his own right.
Looking ahead, Wunderbar Films is also backing Dhanush’s upcoming project, tentatively titled D55, directed by Rajkumar Periasamy. The film features a notable ensemble including Sreeleela and Sai Pallavi, signalling another high-profile venture in the pipeline.
Dhanush the actor stays busy
On the acting front, Dhanush shows no signs of slowing down. The actor is set to appear next in Kara, directed by Vignesh Raja. The film boasts a diverse ensemble cast, including Mamitha Baiju, Suraj Venjaramoodu, KS Ravikumar, Karunaas, Jayaram, Prithvi Pandiarajan, MS Bhaskar and Sreeja Ravi.
With Production 20, Dhanush continues to strengthen his dual role as both actor and producer, consistently championing new voices while maintaining a strong foothold in mainstream cinema. As more details about the project emerge, expectations will naturally build around how this collaboration shapes up within the evolving landscape of Tamil filmmaking.
