We had previously reported about a buzz that Naane Varuven, Dhanush's upcoming film with director Selvaraghavan is undergoing a title change. Latest talks suggest the movie has also undergone a script change and Dhanush will be playing a powerful gangster in it.

Word also has it that Raayan will be the new title of this movie, which is a production venture of Kalaipuli S Thanu's V Creations. Eagle eyed fans also noted that the title does not seem too far fetched as a folder under the same name was found in one of Selvaraghavan's posts about the movie in 2020.

Currently the project is expected to go on floors from August 20 and an official announcement on the title change is anticipated on Dhanush's birthday i.e. July 28.

[February 22, 2024// Update] Raayan is the title of Dhanush's 50th film as actor and second film as director. Actor Selvaraghavan is part of Raayan's cast. Selvaraghavan has clarified that the gangster action movie is Dhanush's 'dream script' and not his.  

Friends , heard reports that I have written the script for D 50 RAAYAN. I clarify that I have NOTHING to do with ‘ RAAYAN ‘ s script or scripting process. It’s purely @dhanushkraja s dream script and now he has made it in to his own film. I am merely an actor in this project 🙏🏼
