Chiyaan Vikram's 'Dhruva Natchathiram' To Release In December 2022?

Chennai, August 25 - Tamil star Chiyaan Vikram's last theatrical film was "Kadaram Kondan" in 2019, and since then, he has had only one release in the form of "Mahaan", and it was direct to release via Amazon Prime Video in February this year.

Chiyaan Vikram is now gearing up for his big screen comeback with the upcoming movie "Cobra", scheduled to release on August 31. It is not the only film of him releasing in theaters this year as filmmaker Mani Ratnam's magnum opus, "Ponniyin Selvan: I", in which he is playing the role of a prince Aditya Karikalan, is also scheduled for September 30.

While the aforementioned films are confirmed to release, if all goes well, the actor could have his third theatrical release this year. According to reports, Vikram's long-awaited "Dhruva Natchathiram" is progressing to release in December this year. The film has had its trouble in completing the shoot and finally, there is some movement regarding this one.

It is said that after promotional work for Cobra and Ponniyin Selvan, Chiyaan Vikram will be shooting for the pending portions of "Dhruva Natchathiram" as the makers have decided to release it this year itself. The movie was initially announced with Suriya and Deepika Padukone in 2013, but months after the announcement, director Gautham Vasudev Menon shelved the project citing creative differences with the actor.

The movie was later revived with Chiyaan Vikram coming on board to play the lead role. The film which began production in 2016, was shot in seven countries and has been languished in production hell since then owing to Menon's financial constraints, as per reports.

Produced by Ondraga Entertainment, Kondaduvom Entertainment, and Escape Artists Motion Pictures, the movie also stars Ritu Varma, Aishwarya Rajesh, R. Parthiban, Simran, Dhivyadharshini, and Vinayakan in key roles.
