It’s official. Nithya Menen and Dhanush will reunite on-screen for Idli Kadai. The duo had worked together in the 2022 movie Thiruchitrambalam. Idli Kadai marks Dhanush’s fourth directorial venture after Pa Paandi, Raayan and the yet-to-be-released Nilavukku Enmel Ennadi Kobam. In an Instagram post, Nithya Menen confirmed her association with Idli Kadai by sharing a picture with Dhanush. In the shared photo, the actress can be seen dressed in a white T-shirt, while Dhanush wore a yellow tee. The duo can be seen smiling and posing for a selfie with tea glasses in hand. The note attached to the post read, “New announcement #idlikadai (sic).” Reacting to her announcement, director BV Nandini Reddy wrote, “Cannot wait.”
Dhanush had revealed the title of his film, Idli Kadai, last month. The actor also shared a concept poster of the movie on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption, “#D52 #DD4 Om Namashivaaya (folded hands and heart emojis).” The poster showed a roadside shack against a starry night. Inside the shack, we can see a shopkeeper, while another man observed him from the outside. Idli Kadai’s music is composed by GV Prakash Kumar and it is produced by Aakash Baskaran of Dawn Pictures under the banner of Dhanush’s Wunderbar Films.
