Reportedly core technical crew that worked in the Tamil version is likely to be retained, with dialogues to be given by Gulzar, music by AR Rahman and PC Sreeram as the cinematographer. The screenplay of the film is reportedly being co-written by Mani Ratnam and Shaad Ali, and the film will go on floors in early 2016.
