While the title announcement glimpse did not reveal the full cast, the film is set to feature Mammootty, Sreeleela, and Sai Pallavi in key roles.
Dhanush’s work front
Dhanush was last seen in the lead role in Kara, an action thriller set in 1991. Directed by Vignesh Raja, the film follows Karasamy, a reformed thief who is forced by difficult circumstances to return to his former ways in an attempt to reclaim his mortgaged ancestral land and fulfill his father’s final wish.
Alongside Dhanush, the film stars Mamitha Baiju, KS Ravikumar, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Karunaas, and Jayaram in key roles. It received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics and is currently streaming on Netflix following its theatrical run.
Looking ahead, the actor is set to collaborate with directors Tamizharasan Pachamuthu and Mari Selvaraj. Additionally, reports suggest that he may also team up with directors Venkat Prabhu and Siva for future projects.
