Naren’s Naragasooran likely to have OTT release

Director Karthick Naren, who rose to fame with his debut film Dhuruvangal Pathinaaru aka D16, in a recent interaction session with his fans, revealed that his long pending film Naragasooran will release soon. He also tagged the trailer of Tenet and said, “Naragasooran will release but: That part is a bit dramatic.” (sic) The young director took an indirect jibe on the film’s producer Gautham Menon (only a working partner and not an investing partner), after the VTV director sold the film’s international theatrical rights without the consent of the investors. This also created a rift between Karthick Naren and Gautham Menon, who produced the film under his banner The Ondraga Entertainment. Naragasooran was originally scheduled to release in August 2018.However, due to hurdles in distribution, the film is yet to see the light of day.

 The movie, starring Arvind Swamy, Sundeep Kishan, Indrajith Sukumaran, and Shriya Saran in the lead, was expected to be Karthick’s second film after Dhuruvangal Pathinaaru. The makers, however, confirmed that the movie was slated to release in March 2020. The ongoing lockdown has reportedly forced the team to push the release further. It is also being speculated that the film will directly release on OTT platform in a few days.
