The title of actor Dhanush's project, previously known as D54, has been revealed as Kara, accompanied by the first glimpse of his character. Directed by Vignesh Raja, the film features music by GV Prakash Kumar and is slated for release in February 2026. Fans have expressed excitement over the poster shared on social media.
Actor Dhanush, fresh from his role in the Bollywood film Tere Ishk Mein alongside Kriti Sanon, is gearing up for his next venture. The project, tentatively titled D54 and announced last year, now bears the official name Kara. The reveal came with a striking first-look poster, showing Dhanush standing alone in a cotton field surrounded by flames, his head bowed in a contemplative pose.
Dhanush himself shared the update on Instagram, captioning the poster: "#D54 is #Kara #கர #కర #करा HappyPongal HappySankranti Directed by @vignesh_raja Produced by @dr.isharik.ganesh A @gvprakash musical." The film is helmed by Vignesh Raja, known for Por Thonzil, and produced by Vels Film International under Dr. Ishari K. Ganesh. GV Prakash Kumar provides the musical score, with Theni Easwar on cinematography and Srijith Sarang handling editing.
Scheduled for a February 2026 release, Kara has already sparked enthusiasm among fans. Comments on the post included "Thalaiva," "Next superhit," and "Mark my words, this is going to be a masterpiece."
Dhanush's recent film Tere Ishk Mein, directed by Aanand L. Rai with a screenplay by Himanshu Sharma and Neeraj Yadav, serves as a sequel to the 2013 hit Raanjhanaa. It follows Shankar, who falls in love with Mukti during her PhD research, only for their paths to cross again years later after he joins the Indian Air Force. The movie premiered at the 56th International Film Festival of India in Goa and hit theaters on November 28, 2025.
