Presently the actor is busy shooting for his next with Adhik Ravichandran, Anbanavan Asarathavan Adangathavan for which the filming resumed after a Diwali break. Some sources report that the sensational Premam director Alphonse Putharen has approached STR in narrating a script and the latter seems to have liked it too.


If the rumours are believed to be true, it is the first direct Tamil film for the director and an exciting collaboration of the romantic filmmaker with the romantic actor. Also the shooting of AAA is likely to run till the end of December and hence news from the team can be expected in later weeks from the horse's mouth itself.
