Radhika Kumaraswamy, who starred in Tamil films such as Iyarkai and Varnajaalam, before going on to concentrate on Telugu and Kannada films, is making a return of sorts to Tamil cinema with Damayanthi,  directed by Navarasan. 

A mythological horror, Damayanthi's story is set in the 90s. On tackling this genre, Navarasan, who is also producing the film, says, "Such types of films are doing well these days. So I think this is the best time to make a film like this."

Damayanthi is being made in Kannada, but will also be released in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, and Malayalam. "I'm quite confident that the film has all the necessary elements to cater to the national audience. People want to see something new. This film is an attempt to satisfy that need," adds Navarasan, 

Apart from Radhika, the film also stars Bhajrangi Loki, Sadhu Kokila, Tabala Nani, Mithra, and Shran Ulthi. Damayanthi is scheduled for release on September 20.
