Sneak peek into details
The film is slated for release in 2024 and Anirudh Ravichander has been roped in to compose music for this film which is going to be one of the much-awaited films of the year. Jai Bhim stole the hearts of many and left the audiences with an impact though it was released directly on OTT sans theatrical release. So expectations for Gnanavel and Rajinikanth film are high already.
The shoot of the film will commence soon under the leadership of producer GKM Tamil Kumaran and will hit the screens in 2024, the makers added. "Lyca group is extremely happy and honoured in associating with Thalaivar Rajinikanth once again after many successful projects. And with all your blessings & wishes, we sincerely believe that this movie would attain all pinnacles bringing joy to all the fans," Lyca Productions said in a statement. Details about the cast and crew will be shared soon.
