Recently, we reported that veteran actor Vadivukkarasi is set to headline a new film titled Granny, directed by Vijayakumaaran. On Friday, the makers announced that the film is all set to hit theatres on January 30.
The director has previously made Brahma.com (2017), starring Nakhul, Bhagyaraj, Neetu Chandra, and Ashna Zaveri. Previously, the makers dropped the title announcement along with the first look, which is suggestive of the Hansel and Gretel fairytale.
Details about the plot of Granny are yet to be revealed. The film will also star Singampuli and Dhileepan in prominent roles, among others.
Making her debut with Bharathiraja-Kamal Haasan's Sigappu Rojakkal (1978), Vadivukkarasi's film credits include Vaidehi Kathirunthal (1984), Padikkadavan (1985), Neethiyin Marupakkam, Veera (1994), Kaalam Maari Pochu (1996), and Nee Varuvai Ena (1998). She has had five releases in 2025: Niram Marum Ulagil, Nizharkudai, Jinn – The Pet, Thug Life, Panai, and Idli Kadai.
Backed by VijayaMary Universal Media, Granny will feature camera work by A Manikandan, music by Chelliah Pandian, editing by MS Gopi, art direction by PBK Mahendran and stunts by Action Prakash. The film will hit theatres alongside Kishore’s Mellisai.
