Among the many projects that Vijay Sethupathi has in his kitty in various stages of production, director Mysskin's long-awaited film Train also remains. While the production for the movie began in 2023 and a first look was released last year, Train is yet to lock a release date.
In a recent interview, noted producer Kalaipuli S Thanu has detailed the issues that the film had faced and what audiences can expect from the movie. Confirming that all of the works for the film has been complete and is ready for release, Thanu said, "The real reason why the film was delayed for these many months was because the train will be featured in the movie for the entire duration of two and a half hours. Filming was entirely done on the sets. If it has to run, there has to be extensive CG work involved. All of it has been completed now."
Stating that there is high anticipation for Train, Thanu revealed that Vijay Sethupathi has delivered some of the best action sequences of his career. "It will be filled with thrills and is sure to be exciting. His fight scenes are comparable to Hollywood films," he noted.
Previously, director Mysskin opened up on the ambitious nature of the film, saying, "I've long harboured the desire to make a film set entirely on a train. I envisioned a fast-paced story unfolding in real time, with the train moving at 80 km/h and the entire journey wrapping up in two hours and thirty minutes, just like the film’s runtime. But I soon realised that was too ambitious and rewrote the story to take place over five hours instead."
Shruti Haasan, Narain, Nassar, KS Ravikumar, Dimple Hayati, Yugi Sethu, Kalaiyarasan, Ira Dayanand, and Preethy Karan also star in key roles in Train. The film marks the maiden collaboration between Mysskin and Vijay Sethupathi.
Train's technical crew comprises cinematographer Fowzia Fathima and editor Sri Watson. Apart from directing the film, Mysskin is also composing music.
