Akkenam, which reunites real-life father and daughter, actors Arun Pandian and Keerthi Pandian onscreen, is all set to hit theatres on July 4. The film marks the directorial debut of Uday K.

In an exclusive interview with CE, director Uday said the title is the verbal translation of the Tamil Aayutha Ezhuthu. The film's story is said to be revolving around the lives of three important characters, which corresponds to the three-dotted letter in Tamil.

Adithya Shivpink, Ramesh Thilak, and GM Sundar are also a part of Akkenam’s cast. Backed by Arun Pandian's A & P Groups, the film's technical crew comprises cinematographer Vignesh Govindarajan, music composer Barath Veeraraghavan, editor Devathyan, art director Raja, and stunt director PC Stunts.

Uday K has previously made the short film Yakkai Thiri in 2022 with Dushara Vijayan in the lead, which received critical acclaim. Arun Pandian and Keerthi Pandian have previously acted together in the Tamil remake of the Malayalam hit Helen, Anbirkiniyal, directed by Gokul.

Akkenam will release alongside Sri Ganesh-Siddarth’s 3BHK and Ram-Shiva’s Paranthu Po in theatres.
