Anegan is an upcoming Indian Tamil film directed by K. V. Anand. The film stars Dhanush, Amyra Dastur and Karthik, with Atul Kulkarni, Ashish Vidyarthi and Jagan in supporting roles. Produced by AGS Entertainment, the film has music by Harris Jayaraj, cinematography by Om Prakash and editing by Anthony Gonsalves. The shooting began on 2 September 2013 at Puducherry.
After Maattrraan, director K. V. Anand joined hands once again with AGS Entertainment for his next directorial. The film, which was untitled then, has Dhanush in the lead. Though it was rumoured to be titled as Thaara Thappatta Ready, it was later dismissed by the director. Dhanush was said to appear in four different looks: local Chennai youth look, urban look, one look with curly hair, and he will also play a martial art expert. The film, a romantic entertainer laced with action was titled Anegan, meaning “the man with many shadows”, according to classic Tamil poet Manikkavacakar. The story comprises multiple period set-ups, and in one of the segments, Dhanush goes back to his previous birth.
Alia Bhatt was rumoured to be playing the lead. Amyra Dastur, a model who made her film debut in Issaq was later cast opposite Dhanush. In preparation for her role, she was asked to see Tamil films and also took Tamil lessons from Dhanush to get her dialogues right. Amyra was further reported to be performing stunts for the film.
Karthik was signed to portray the antagonist, and it was reported that he would play the role of a love guru to Dhanush, for a part, similar to the role portrayed by Santhanam in Theeya Velai Seiyyanum Kumaru, and also sport a look similar to that of Ajith's look in Mankatha. Baby Vedhika of Nirnayam fame is also playing a role.
The technical crew consists of cinematography by Om Prakash, editing by Anthony, action by Kanal Kannan and the dialogues by Subha. As with most K. V. Anand films, Harris Jayaraj was once again signed to compose the musical score.
