Gautham Menon- Vikram Movie “Dhruva Natchathiram” Eyeing May 1 Release After Years of Delay
After multiple postponements due to financial hurdles, Gautham Vasudev Menon’s much-anticipated spy thriller Dhruva Natchathiram, starring Chiyaan Vikram, is now likely to hit the screens on May 1, 2025. The film, which has been in the making for over six years, was initially set for release last year but faced setbacks due to production and financial constraints. Shot extensively in international locations like Slovenia, Bulgaria, Georgia, and the UAE, along with key portions in Tamil Nadu, Dhruva Natchathiram promises to be an action-packed espionage thriller. The film also features Ritu Varma, Simran, Vinayakan, Parthipan, and Radhika Sarathkumar in pivotal roles, adding to the excitement among fans eagerly awaiting its release.
Despite the prolonged delay, Gautham Menon remains optimistic about the film’s theatrical debut. Speaking about the film’s release plans, the director stated, “Although it was in the making for six years, it was only supposed to be released last year. We had put out a release date, but we weren’t able to make it to the screen. But this year, hopefully, within a couple of months, we will definitely bring it to the screen.” The film is expected to showcase Vikram in a stylish and intense role, with Gautham Menon’s signature blend of slick action sequences and gripping storytelling. Given the filmmaker’s expertise in the spy-action genre, Dhruva Natchathiram is touted to be a visually stunning and fast-paced thriller that could mark Vikram’s return to the big screen with a bang.
Meanwhile, Gautham Menon’s latest release, Dominic and The Ladies’ Purse, featuring Mammootty in the lead, failed to make an impact at the box office. The film, despite high expectations, struggled to resonate with audiences. However, with Dhruva Natchathiram finally inching closer to release, the director hopes to make a strong comeback. If all goes as planned, the film’s arrival in May could be a major event for Tamil cinema, reigniting excitement for the long-awaited project that fans have been anticipating for years.
