Flying high after the success of her romantic thriller ‘Haseen Dillruba’, Taapsee Pannu earlier today took to Twitter to announce the arrival of the first look of her next film titled ‘Annabelle Sethupathi’ at 5 PM today. And shortly after, acclaimed actor Vijay Sethupathi too confirmed the same.
As promised, the film’s first look has just been revealed. The film is slated to release on 17th September 2021 on the Disney+ Hotstar streaming platform in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam languages.
It was being speculated that ‘Annabelle Sethupathi’ will feature both Vijay Sethupathi and Tapsee Pannu in double roles and Taaspsee Pannu’s post just confirmed that. Her post was marked with the words “Coz sometimes one life is not enough to see it all.” This suggests that the concept of reincarnation might be an integral part of the plot.
Previously titled ‘Annabelle Subramaniam’, ‘Annabelle Sethupathi’ is being touted as a comedy fantasy horror movie that’s written and directed by debutante director Deepak Sundarrajan and will also feature Yogi Babu and Radhika Sarathkumar. Its filming schedule was reportedly concluded in less than a month in Jaipur.
Earlier, the pan-Indian film was slated for a theatrical release but owing to the pandemic, the film is now confirmed for a direct-to-OTT release on the Disney+ Hotstar OTT platform and its streaming rights might have been sold for a whopping amount considering the presence of such bankable lead stars. The film’s trailer might soon be dropped by the makers.
Both Vijay Sethupathi and Taapsee Panu are busy stars nowadays. Vijay Sethupathi’s upcoming projects include Laabam, Tughlaq Darbar and Mumbaikar while Taapsee Pannu would next be seen in Rashmi Rocket, Blurr, Tadka, Dobaaraa, and Who Ladki Hai Kahan.
It was further being speculated that the film is somewhat on the lines of the comedy horror movie ‘Aranmanai’. Its story revolved around a married couple who visits the husband’s ancestral palace with the intention of selling it off. However, the wife begins to experience supernatural phenomena. It remains to be seen on 17th September whether ‘Annabelle Sethupathi’ will follow the same story or not. Until then stay tuned to Binged for the latest updates.
