On Wednesday, on the occasion of actor Atharvaa’s birthday, the makers of his next, DNA, shared a new poster featuring him while also announcing that the film is slated to hit theatres in June. An exact release date for the film, also starring Nimisha Sajayan, is yet to be announced.
Director Nelson Venkatesan, known for Monster and Farhana, is helming DNA, which is backed by Jayanthi Ambethkumar and Ambethkumar under their Olympia Movies banner. Ramesh Thilak and Balaji Sakthivel play crucial roles in the film, while Viji Chandrasekar, Chetan, Riythvika KP, Subramanian Siva, Karunakaran and Pasanga Sivakumar form the supporting cast.
In a previous conversation with CE, director Nelson said, “The term DNA has a lot of layers, and when one reads the word, many things may come to their mind. There may be a connection to all those meanings in the film.” Further, on selecting Atharvaa and Nimisha as the leads, he said, "I have been observing Atharvaa from Bana Kaathadi. I find his eyes to be very powerful. I am a huge fan of Nimisha Sajayan, and she is one of the finest performers in the country. She was our first and only choice, and I think this will be a memorable character for Nimisha in her filmography.”
Athisha Vino has co-written the script of DNA with Nelson. The technical crew includes cinematographer Parthiban and editor VJ Sabu Joseph. Singers Sathyaprakash, Sreekanth Hariharan, Pravin Saivi, Sahi Siva and Anal Akash have composed various songs in the film.
