As per the most recent updates, Simbu is preparing for a new film under Ishari Ganesh's Vels Films International. Discussions are underway with Malayalam director Jude Antony Joesph to lead this upcoming project. Joesph's earlier work includes directing last year's Tovino Thomas-starrer '2018,' which became the top-grossing Malayalam film before 'Manjummel Boys.

Moreover, there are reports indicating that Mohanlal, the Complete Actor, will portray a significant role alongside STR in this project. Although discussions for the film are in the early stages, an official confirmation is awaited. It's noteworthy that the previously reported discord between Simbu and Vels Films International has reportedly been completely resolved.
