Alphonse Puthren is all set to direct a romantic film in Tamil starring Vijay Sethupathi in the lead role. The shooting of the film will begin later this month. The audition for the film is going on in Chennai. The film is produced by Romeo Pictures, the production house that banked Ajith-Manju Warrier film ‘Thunivu’.

Prithviraj starrer ‘Gold’ was Alphonse Puthren’s last film. The film was widely criticized. Puthren is known for his superhit film ‘Premam’.
