The trailer of Dhanush’s most-awaited film Jagame Thanthiram was released on Tuesday. It was supposed to hit the screens last May. But, the outbreak of the coronavirus forced the filmmakers to postpone it indefinitely. Its team had always maintained that the film was made for a big-screen experience and they had no plans for a direct OTT release. However, everyone was taken by surprise when producer S Sashikanth of Y Not Studio decided to give the theatrical window a miss, and announced the release of it on Netflix on June 18.
Sashikanth’s decision adversely affected his relationship with Dhanush as they both are reportedly not on talking terms. So much so, that Dhanush has steered clear of all sorts of promotional activities for the film. In fact, Dhanush even joined the social media campaign backed by his fans to exert pressure on Sashikanth to pull out from the direct-to-home release with Netflix. Written and directed by Karthik Subbaraj, the film has Dhanush playing the role of a Tamil gangster with global ambitions.
Going by the trailer, Dhanush stars as Suruli, who seems to be a lively character. He also has a huge taste for violence, mind-games and of course, seems to possess a great sense of humour. We also get a glimpse of Hollywood actor James Cosmo, who is making his debut in the Indian film industry with the movie. James Cosmo plays the role of a London-based mafia boss, who stands between Suruli and his ambition.
