About D55’s Plot

While specific story details remain under wraps, the director has earlier shared insights into the film’s core theme. He revealed that unlike his previous film Amaran, which focused on a decorated hero, D55 will shine a light on unsung heroes who quietly exist within society, with the protagonist representing one such individual. This premise has further piqued curiosity around the film.

Dhanush had a packed year in 2025 with three releases, including Sekhar Kammula’s Kuberaa, his fourth directorial venture Idli Kadai, and Aanand L Rai’s Tere Ishk Mein. In 2026 he will be seen in Kara, directed by Por Thozhil filmmaker Vignesh Raja, followed by an untitled project with Mari Selvaraj. Meanwhile, Sai Abhyankkar continues to expand his impressive lineup with major projects such as Raghava Lawrence’s Benz, Suriya’s Karuppu, Karthi’s Marshal, and an untitled Allu Arjun film directed by Atlee, further cementing his status as one of the most sought-after young composers in the industry.
