Debutant director Adhik Ravichandran’s adult comedy Trisha Illana Nayanthara became a huge hit with youngsters. 

The director recently announced his next project with Simbu, where he will be seen in a triple role.

Continuing with the tradition of quirky titles, Adhik has named his film Anbanavan Asaradhavan Adangadhavan, probably after Simbu’s three different avatars in the film.

The first look poster of the film has been revealed.

Meanwhile, after much delay, Simbu’s romantic film called Idhu Namma Aalu with Nayanthara may finally see the light of day on May 20.
