Lakshmi Menon in talks to co-star Vijay Sethupathi

Lakshmi Menon is in negotiations to play the lead heroine in Vijay Sethupathi’s next film Dharma Durai, directed by Seenu Ramasamy. Not only did the makers borrow the title from a Rajinikanth flick, but the story, which is based on relationship between brothers, also shares a similarity with the yesteryear film.

The movie is produced by RK Suresh of Studio 9 Productions and will go on floors from the third week of December. Set against a village backdrop, the major portions of the film will be shot in and around the scenic locations of Theni. Yuvan Shankar Raja, who delivered a soul-striring album in Idam Porul Yeaval, has been roped in again by Seenu Ramasamy to compose music.
