Twist in STR 49: Silambarasan’s Sudden U-Turn for Dawn Pictures!

In a surprising move, Silambarasan TR has decided to put a temporary pause on STR 49, which was initially set to be directed by Ramkumar Balakrishnan under Dawn Pictures. Despite the production house’s efforts to keep the project rolling, STR has politely opted to delay the shoot until the release of Idly Kadai and Parasakthi, both produced by the same banner.

Sources say the actor wants to avoid another long gap between films and is prioritizing momentum in his career. However, he has assured his full moral support to the team.

Adding to the buzz, it’s now rumored that STR 49 will be a romantic drama directed by none other than Mani Ratnam, with Rukmini Vasanth playing the female lead. A photoshoot under Mani Ratnam’s direction is reportedly already complete.

With this twist, STR 49 may be heading in a whole new direction—one fans won’t want to miss.
