Cosmo’s role in Karthik Subbaraj’s film is yet to be revealed. Earlier, Subbaraj had planned to rope in Al Pacino for the role. Unfortunately, he couldn’t get dates of the actor.
The project goes on the floors in London this week. For the next three months, the film will be shot in and around London and a few other places.
James Cosmo has also been part of Hollywood films like Highlander, Braveheart, Trainspotting, Troy, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Ben-Hur and Wonder Woman.
Dhanush, on the other hand, has an interesting lineup of projects. Dhanush will play a daily wage labourer in Asuran, which will be released on October 2. He will be also seen in Durai Senthil Kumar’s Pataas, which is gearing up for Diwali release. The film also stars Mehreen Pirzada and Sneha. Dhanush also has few days of shoot left on Vada Chennai 2 which he hopes to complete by this year end. He has also signed a film with Pariyerum Perumal fame director Mari Selvaraj.
