The release of Tharunam, starring Kishen Das, Smruthi Venkat and Raj Ayyappa, which was released in theatres on January 14, has been pulled down from screens and postponed to a later date due to its limited screening in theatres owing to delays in certification.
In an official statement, the makers said, "Due to delays in certificaton, Tharunam's release faced limited screens. Thanks to your positive response, we've decided to relaunch the film soon on a larger scale. Stay tuned for the new release date."
Arvindh Srinivasan, known for the 2022 film Dejavu, wrote and directed the film. It is his second film as a director; his first one being the 2022 Arulnithi-starrer.
Upon release, the film received mixed to positive reviews. Our CE review of the film read, "Tharunam also has an unconventional love story that does not veer away from the main plot. While the director uses convenient ideas, such as an accident or a sudden relationship fallout, to bring the protagonists together at different points, the directions he chooses to go with them are fascinating."
Produced by Pugazh and Eden of Zhen Studios, the film also stars Bala Saravanan in a key role.
On the technical side, it has music by Darbuka Siva, cinematography by Raja Bhattacharjee, editing by Arul Elango Siddharth, as well as stunts by Don Ashok and C Prabhu.
