Tamil language psychological action thriller film ‘Naane Varuvean‘ (transl: Naane Varuvean) starring Dhanush in the lead released at the movies today. The streaming rights of the film has been acquired by Amazon Prime Video. The film marks Dhanush and his brother Selvaraghavan’s reunion after 11 years.
Naane Varuvean is written by Dhanush himself and directed by Selvaraghavan. This is Selvaraghavan’s first release after the 2021 film ‘Nenjam Marappathillai’ and Dhanush’s collaboration with him after Mayakkam Enna (2011). Dhanush plays dual role for the third time in the film. Naane Varuvean trailer was received positively as well.
The film’s music is composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja while cinematography is handled by Om Prakash. Prasanna GK is the editor of the movie. Naane Varuvean clashes with Mani Ratnam’s magnum Opus Ponniyin Selvan -1 that releases worldwide tomorrow. As Ponniyin Selvan-1 is clearly the bigger elephant in the room and Naane Varuvean looks like a much lesser budgeted action thriller, there are chances that both films might do well for itself.
One should remember that Dhanush-Selvaraghavan combination has a cult fan-base of its own. Dhanush also had a successful hit at the box office a month ago with Thiruchitrambalam. Let’s wait and watch to know how beneficial or self-damaging will the clash be for both films. Stay tuned for more updates.
