"I called Vijay Anna and invited him to the party, and he said he would make it for sure. So, when he came, Shah Rukh sir and Anna discussed between themselves and called me. Shah Rukh sir told me if I ever have plans of directing a dual hero film, they both are ready for it. Vijay Anna also said, 'Ama pa'. So, I am working on it. It could be my next film," Atlee said. He added, "I am working very hard to come up with a script for it. Let's see."
