With a release slated for March 7, the makers of GV Prakash's 25th feature film Kingston announced that the CBFC has issued a U/A certificate.
In a recent interaction about the film, GV Prakash said, "Kingston carries the potential to expand into a franchise like the Harry Potter and Pirates of The Caribbean films. However, I would like to clarify that Kingston is rooted in Tamil sensibilities. The film is set against the background of Thoothukudi with a fictional cursed ocean. I play a fisherman for the very first time, who belongs to a desolate hamlet that cannot venture into the sea for livelihood due to the curse. How the lead character Kingston attempts to break the curse is what the film is about. We have also incorporated an idea called 'Kadal Adakkam' which plays a crucial role in setting off the plot."
GV Prakash is making a debut as a producer for the film under his Parallel Universe Pictures, and he is joined by Umesh KR Bansal as the co-producer.
While Divyabharathi plays the leading lady, the rest of the cast includes Chetan, Azhagam Perumaal, Antony, Sabumon Abdusamad, Arunachaleswaran, and Rajesh Balachandiran. The film has music by GV Prakash himself, cinematography by Gokul Benoy, editing by San Lokesh, and art direction by SS Moorthy.
