With the film's release slated for May 16, the makers of Santhanam's upcoming film, DD Next Level, made an announcement regarding the trailer on Monday.
Accordingly, the film's trailer glimpse will be released on April 30.
The film is directed by Prem Anand, who helmed the actor's previous film from the franchise, DD Returns.
The upcoming film, produced by actor Arya under his banner The Show People, also stars Selvaraghavan, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Geethika, Yashika Aannand, Maaran, Nizhalgal Ravi, Kasthuri Shankar, and Rajendran, among others. Plot details have not been revealed yet, but according to the previously released song 'Kissa 47,' Santhanam seems to be playing a film critic dreaded and hated by film producers. In an earlier press note, the director revealed that the film starts on a cruise ship and takes place on an island.
DD Next Level has music composed by OfRo, editing by Barath Vikraman, and cinematography by Dipak Kumar Padhy. The film is co-produced by Niharika Entertainment. Apart from Tamil, DD Next Level will also be released in Telugu and Hindi.

A third film, a standalone sequel titled DD Returns, was released in 2023 and was helmed by Prem Anand. All the films were commercial hits at the box office.
