This project will mark the directorial debut of actors Arvind Swami and Siddharth, who will direct one episode each apart from Sudha Kongara, Jayendra, Gautham Menon, Bejoy Nambiar, Karthick Naren and KV Anand among others.

It is still yet unknown if Ratnam will direct one of the episodes or will only be involved as the producer. An official announcement regarding the project is yet awaited from the filmmaker’s end.

As per a recent Cinema Express report, the Roja filmmaker will direct one episode. Apparently, part of the income from the series will be given to workers of Tamil industry, who have been jobless over the last few months due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Meanwhile, Mani Ratnam is raring to get back to the sets of his upcoming magnum opus Ponniyin Selvan, which is based on Kalki’s epic Tamil novel of the same name. The project went on the floors in Thailand last December where the first schedule was filmed for over 90 days.

Actor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who has already confirmed that she is part of the project, will be seen playing dual roles in the highly anticipated project, according to trusted sources.
