As we know, Vishal is currently working on his 34th film, titled Rathnam, directed by Hari. On Wednesday, the actor announced that he has begun his last schedule of shoot for the film, which is happening in Tirupati.
He wrote on his official X account, "Feeling blessed by the almighty up there as I enter the first day of shoot in 2024 in Tirupati. No better place to start I guess. Canning the impossible 3 min single shot stunt and chase sequence choreographed by Kannal Kannan master in Director Hari’s #Rathnam. The planning and execution by Dir Hari sir and DOP Sukumar and the entire team is a treat to watch and learn for an aspiring director like me. The last schedule is in full throttle. Thank you, God, as I enter the 20th year of my career. God Bless" (sic)
The action film is slated to be released in Summer 2024. The makers recently released a first-look poster from the film, which featured a blood-soaked Vishal holding a weapon in one hand and a severed head in the other.
Rathnam is produced by Karthik Subbaraj's Stone Bench Production and Kaarthekeyan Santhanam's Zee Studios. The upcoming film will mark the third collaboration between Hari and Vishal after Thamirabharani (2007) and Poojai (2014).
Besides Vishal, the film also stars Priya Bhavani Shankar, Gautham Menon, Murali Sharma, and Samuthirakani, among others. Devi Sri Prasad is the film's music composer, which will also have cinematography by M Sukumar and editing by T S Jay.
