The buzz surrounding DNS has been huge right from the get-go after it was revealed that Dhanush is collaborating with National Award winner Sekhar Kammula and is his next with a Telugu filmmaker after he hit the bullseye with Venky Atluri in Vaathi (2023). The film will also feature songs and a background score by blockbuster Telugu composer Devi Sri Prasad, who has become a much sought after name after the stupendous success of Pushpa: The Rise - Part 1 (2021), which earned him a National Award. DNS is one of the many projects Dhanush is currently working on starting with his second directorial Raayan and his third filmmaking venture Nilavuku Enmel Ennadi Kobam, a film each with directors Mari Selvaraj and Arun Matheswaran, and his next Hindi venture, Tere Ishk Mein, which is third-time reunion with Bollywood filmmaker Aanand L. Rai after Raanjhanaa (2013) and Atrangi Re (2021).
