Marking the fourth anniversary of their critically acclaimed film Karnan, actor Dhanush and director Mari Selvaraj have officially announced their second collaboration—tentatively titled D56. The announcement came with a powerful tagline, “Roots Begin a Great War,?hinting at an intense, possibly period-based drama that delves into themes of identity, resistance, and social roots.

Team up with Dhanush
The duo took to social media to reveal a special look poster and a photograph of themselves together, igniting excitement among fans who had been eagerly waiting for their next project since Karnan. Mari Selvaraj wrote, “Overwhelmed to celebrate the 4th year of a journey forged by Karnan's Sword! Thanks to everyone who celebrated and supported Karnan throughout the years!!?He added, “I am exhilarated to say that my next project is once again with my dearest Dhanush sir! This has been soaking in my mind for quite some time now and I am very excited to be joining hands with him once again.?br/>
While further details about D56 remain under wraps, the tagline and visual reveal suggest a story steeped in heritage and rebellion—possibly revisiting socio-political themes that Selvaraj is known for. Given their prior success with Karnan, which was lauded for its powerful storytelling and Dhanush’s intense performance, expectations are sky-high for D56.

Meanwhile, Dhanush is gearing up for the release of his upcoming social thriller Kuberaa, set to hit screens on June 20, 2025. He also has other projects in the pipeline including Idly Kadai and Tere Ishk Mein.
Meanwhile, Dhanush’s previous outing was ‘Raayan?which received 3 stars from ETimes with an official review that reads, “And there's the film's beating heart - the relationship between the siblings. Dhanush ensures that we never forget that this is first and foremost an emotionally charged drama, so despite all the heroism and bloodshed that we see on screen (the filmmakers also deserve praise for going with the 'A' rating) , we care for how the events affect the bond between these brothers and their sister. That is his biggest success as a director.?br/>
