Fails WP:NFF. Shooting starts only in August 2017, per the article's own admission. Other sources put the date at October. Jupitus Smart 04:10, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Films that have not been confirmed by reliable sources to have commenced principal photography should not have their own articles. GSS (talk|c|em) 15:18, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Usually correct, but reasonable exceptions are allowed. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 17:57, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify or Keep and continue improvements since the topic of this upcoming film IS getting a lot of coverage and may be considered as a reasonable exception. If deleted, an undeletion will simply occur in 3 or 4 weeks when filming is confirmed. Flat out deletion is not always the best answer. Ping me.

@MichaelQSchmidt: I think draftfy will be the best option here, no doubt the film is receiving lot of coverage but there is no confirm date when the filming will actually start. Thank you – GSS (talk|c|em) 18:17, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Draftifying should ideally serve some purpose. There is hardly any content in the article to merit saving in a draft, and this can be easily restarted as and when production begins. There are only 3 things out for now (which can also change) - Dhyan is directing it, and Nivin and Nayanthara are acting in it. The August 2017 start date has 6 references cited - though it is mentioned in none of them. Nivin (Nivin's Hey Jude has started production recently, so if the creator is watching this AfD, he may consider creating an article for it) and Nayanthara are currently flooded with movies, so there is no possibility of the movie starting production anytime soon. While [this is indeed a decent amount of references, most of it has to do with the news value associated with Dhyan making his directorial debut and Nivin and Nayanthara uniting for the first time. Also many of the references are from websites considered as unreliable per WP:ICTFFAQ, and if this article stays for long, we will soon have one of these sites using Wikipedia to put the start date at August, and thereby start off a circular referencing. I therefore believe that the best solution should be to redirect it to Dhyan Sreenivasan, as he is the only person who has no possibility of changing, considering the movie is based on his story.
