Dhanush’s much-awaited Tamil film D55 is creating buzz lately. The film starring Dhanush, Sai Pallavi, and Sreeleela in central roles has officially begun shooting, with the makers announcing the start of the shoot, sharing a glimpse from the puja ceremony.
On Thursday, February 5, 2026, the production houses of the upcoming film, Wunderbar Films and RTake Studios, in a joint post, shared a glimpse from the puja ceremony, announcing the official start of the shoot, which took place yesterday, February 4. The caption reads, “Lights on.
Camera ready.
A grand story sets into motion..
Moments from the pooja of #D55 which took place yesterday.”
Held in a grand place, the puja ceremony brought together the D55 team, including the main leads Dhanush, Sai Pallavi, and Sreeleela. Dhanush stole hearts in his traditional avatar, wearing a huge shirt with a white lungi, recreating his traditional South Indian look. At the same time, Sai Pallavi left us mesmerized by her simplicity in a purple silk saree, complemented by minimal makeup and earrings, while Sreeleela looks gorgeous in a peach anarkali suit, with makeup and hair that complement it.
From posing with co-stars Sai and Sreeleela to sharing the moment with musician Sai Abhyankkar and director Rajkumar Periasamy, to posing with the whole team, the photos give a glimpse into the grand ceremony.
In addition, yesterday, on Wednesday, February 4, the makers of Dhanush’s upcoming film announced that Malayalam actor Mammotty has joined the film, and Dhanush reacted by calling it an absolute honour.
