Since Andhadhun’s release in 2018, the cinema industry has made several versions in their languages and star casts. Adding to the roster is the Tamil remake Andhagan, featuring Kollywood star Prashanth. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming film, including its release date, cast, and more.
What is Andhagan’s release date?
The makers of Andhagan recently announced that the film will hit theatres earlier than scheduled. Initially set for an August 15 release, it will now premiere on August 9, 2024. This much-anticipated murder mystery has been in the making, and its release will surely draw crowds.
Andhagan closely follows the storyline of Andhadhun. Prashanth plays a blind pianist with dreams of going to London. His life takes a dramatic turn when he becomes a witness to a crime. The film explores how he navigates this precarious situation. Furthermore, the trailer introduces his romantic interest, played by Priya Anand. It also teases the tension between Prashanth’s character and the manipulative woman, which is played by Simran. Additionally, it features glimpses of a police investigation led by Samuthirakani.
Apart from Prashanth, Anand, Simran, and Samuthirakani, the film features a stellar cast. It includes Karthik Muthuraman, Yogi Babu, KS Ravikumar, Vanitha Vijaykumar, and Leela Samson. Manobala, Poovaiyar, Besant Ravi, Mohan Vaithiya, Lakshmi Pradeep, Rekha Suresh, Semmalar, and Kavitha round out the ensemble. The film’s runtime is approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes.
Produced by Staar Movies, Andhagan has been a highly anticipated project, especially given the success of its predecessor. Andhadhun has already been remade in several languages, including Telugu as Maestro (2021) and Malayalam as Bhramam (2021). These adaptations have garnered significant attention, and Andhagan aims to continue that tradition of success.
As Andhagan prepares for its release, it will face competition from Halitha Shameem’s Minmini, which is also premiering on August 9, 2024.
