Recently, we reported about writer-director Rathna Kumar making a comeback after four years with a film titled 29, starring Preethi Asrani and Vidhu in the lead roles. The film is produced by Kaarthikeyan S of Stone Bench Creations, the label that also involves filmmaker Karthik Subbaraj, and director Lokesh Kanagaraj under the G Squad banner.
Earlier this Wednesday, the makers of the film dropped a video, titled The World of 29, where the protagonists, played by Vidhu and Preethi Asrani, share a romantic moment. At the start of the scene, Preethi's character appears to be disgruntled for a lack of proposal from Vidhu's character, despite the two spending considerable time together. Later, he pacifies her by letting her know that the beach on which they are standing is the same place where they once met.
The film marks a directorial comeback for Rathna Kumar after 2022's Gulu Gulu, starring Santhanam and Namita Krishnamurthy. Since then, the filmmaker has been working on multiple projects in different capacities, including as a co-writer and a dialogue writer on films starring Vijay, Suriya, Kamal Haasan, and Rajinikanth.
Coming back to 29, the upcoming film has music by Sean Roldan, cinematography by Madhesh Manickam, and editing by RS Sathish Kumar. Also starring Mahendran, Avinash, Shenaz Fathima and Prem Kumar, the film is slated for a May 08 release. Meanwhile, here is the link to The World of 29, the latest glimpse from it:
