We had recently reported that Kannnada filmmaker Pawan Kumar will be joining hands with Fahadh Faasil and Aparana Balamurali for a multilingual project titled Dhoomam. The film was official launched with a formal muhurath ceremony on Sunday, which saw the film's primary cast and crew in attendance.

There are reports stating that Dhoomam is revival of Pawan Kumar's long-delayed project, C10H14N2 (Nicotine), but there has been no official word on it yet. Pawan's frequent collaborator Poornachandra Tejaswi will be composing the music for the film while Preetha Jayaraman will spearhead the cinematography department.

Bankrolled by Hombale Films, the production house that backed the KGF films and the recently released Kannada sensation, Kantara, Dhoomam is slated to release in the summer of 2023 in Kannada, Tamil, Malayalam and Telugu.
