We had previously reported that actor Sivakarthikeyan is producing a film titled Kurangu Pedal under his banner Sivakarthikeyan Productions. The makers have now announced that the film, directed by Kamalakannan, will hit theatres on May 3.

It is to be noted that the film is one of the three Tamil films selected for the Indian Panorama section of the 53rd International Film Festival of India.

The director has previously helmed films like Madhubaanakadai (2012) and Vattam (2022).

Touted to be a feel-good drama, Kurangu Pedal is inspired from the short story Cycle written by Rasi Azhagappan. Set in the summer of 1980s in Salem's Katheri village, the film is set to delve into the bond between a son, who is determined to learn how to ride a cycle, and his father. According to the makers, the film is expected to be a poignant exploration of family dynamics and the pursuit of dreams.

Santhosh Velumurugan, VR Ragavan, M Gnanasekar, Rathish, and Sai Ganesh will play pivotal roles in Kurangu Pedal. Kaali Venkat plays the father, while Prasanna Balachander and Jenson Diwakar from the famous YouTube channel Nakkalites are also part of the cast.

The film has music by Ghibran Vaibodha, cinematography by Sumee Baskaran, editing by Shivanandeeswaran, and sound design by Antony BJ Ruban.
