The producer of Bottle Radha, Pa Ranjith's Neelam Productions, has cleared the censorship formalities for the film, which stars Guru Somasundaram in the titular role. The Censor Board has given it a U/A certificate. The film, which marks the directorial debut of Dhinakaran Sivalingam, is slated for a December 20 release.
The recently released teaser for the film shows the main character grappling with the consequences of his alcoholism, ironically drowning his sorrows resulting from the habit in a bottle.
In an earlier conversation with CE, Bottle Radha writer-director Dhinakaran said, "The film is all about hope and humour. Guru sir is playing a mason who lost his life and the people he most prized to his drinking habit. The story is about his redemption."
Bottle Radha also stars Sanchana Natarajan, John Vijay, Pari Elavazhagan, Antony of Merku Thodarchi Malai fame, and Lollu Sabha Maaran. The film has cinematography by Roopesh, music by Sean Roldan, and editing by Sangathamizhan.
TN Arunbalaji produced the film, with A Nandakumar serving as a co-producer. With its production completed, the film will hit theatres in Tamil and Malayalam.
