It is finally action time for Indian superstar Dhanush as his next big-ticket Hollywood film ‘The Gray Man’ has officially gone on floors today.

Director duo, the Russo Brothers took to their social media handle to make the announcement. The directors, best known for their work on the ‘Avengers’ and ‘Captain America’ films, announced the start of filming by sharing a monochrome photo of the clapper board and tagged the leading men – Chris Evans, Ryan Gosling and Dhanush.

The film revolves around a freelance assassin and former CIA operative Court Gentry. It follows Gentry (Gosling) as he is hunted across the world by Lloyd Hansen (Evans), a former member of Gentry’s CIA team.

As far as Dhanush’s role in the film is concerned, Mark Greaney, who wrote the novel that the film that is based on, guessed that the actor will play one of the heads of the kill team that is after Court Gentry (played by Gosling).

The film that is said to have a budget of USD 200 million, features an ensemble cast comprising of Ana De Armas, Regé-Jean Page, Jessica Henwick, Wagner Moura, Julia Butters, Billy Bob Thornton and Alfre Woodard.

Dhanush, who will reportedly have an action-packed role in the film, flew to the US in February to begin prep for the film. The actor flew out of the country after wrapping up work on his Bollywood film ‘Atrangi Re’ co-starring Sara Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar.
