Actor Dhanush and Selvaraghavan are all set to reunite after a decade. On the occasion of New Year, Selvaraghavan took to Twitter to announce that he will be joining hands with his brother for the sequel to his 2010 Tamil adventure drama Aayirathil Oruvan and that it will release in 2024. Selvaraghavan wrote in Tamil about the project and shared the announcement poster. Dhanush quickly quoted his brother’s tweet and wrote: “A magnum opus! The pre production alone will take us a year. But a dream film from the master @selvaraghavan! The wait will be long. But we will give our best to make it all worth it. AO2.The Prince returns in 2024 (sic).” Contrary to reports, Dhanush and Selva haven’t joined hands for Pudhupettai 2.
