Actor Dhanush and Telugu director Sekhar Kammula are teaming up for a film, which marks the 51st film of the Tamil star. A day ahead of his 40th birthday, the film was officially announced by Dhanush on Twitter with a concept poster. The poster features a gigantic wad of old hundred rupee notes with a sprawling metro city in the background. The dated cash could be a possible hint that D51 is a period film.
