Actress Shalini Pandey is ready to share the screen with Dhanush in his highly awaited directorial project Idly Kadai. The film not only features Dhanush in a pivotal role but also brings together an impressive cast that includes Nithya Menen and Arun Vijay. Produced by Aakash Baskaran and set to a powerful soundtrack composed by GV Prakash Kumar, Idly Kadai promises a fresh and distinctive cinematic experience.
Shalini, who first captured attention with her acclaimed debut in Arjun Reddy, has steadily built a reputation for emotionally layered performances in films such as Jayeshbhai Jordaar and the recently released Maharaj. Her thoughtful choice of roles continues to showcase both versatility and depth, securing her place among the most compelling young talents in Indian cinema.
This project marks a significant milestone for Shalini. Not only is it her first collaboration with Dhanush, an actor-director celebrated for unique storytelling, but the role itself, she says, is “emotionally rich and creatively fulfilling.”
Sharing her excitement, Shalini remarked, “Working with Dhanush sir is a huge honour, both as an actor and as my director. I’ve had so much fun and learned so much on this set, and I can’t wait for audiences to see what we have created together.”
With its October 1 release on the horizon, Idly Kadai is shaping up to be one of the season’s most anticipated films, blending compelling performances, striking music, and powerful narrative vision.
