Uncertainty was hanging over the release date of actor Shaam's upcoming action thriller Asthram, but the film has now been given a new release date.
The makers of the film, directed by Aravind Rajagopal, set the film's new release date on March 21. Although the film was first planned to be released on February 21, it was later moved to February 28 and then to March 7, only to get postponed again.
Billed to be a crime-investigation thriller, the film has a story penned by Jegan MS. Nizhalgal Ravi, Aroul D Shankar, Jeeva Ravi, and a newcomer, Ranjith DSM, round out the supporting cast of Asthram.
Aravind Rajagopal, who has a decade of experience making short films, is making his debut with Asthram. As per an earlier released press note, the director said, "During the pandemic, my team and I made a 30-minute pilot film. Recognising the exceptional quality of the story, we made the collective decision to transform it into a full-length feature. The talented story writer, Jagan, has masterfully crafted the narrative. As a result, the film has taken shape as an enthralling crime investigation thriller."
Sundaramoorthy, who is known for his work in Airaa, 8 Thottakkal, and Bommai Nayagi, is the music composer for Asthram. The film will feature cinematography by Kalyan and editing by Boopathy.
Asthram is backed by Dhana Shanmugamani of Best Movies. Five Star Company has acquired the theatrical distribution rights of the upcoming film.
