The movie was supposed to hit the theatres in October 2020 but was postponed due to the ongoing pandemic coronavirus and the lockdown.
An 18-second video has been dropped unveiling the release with the title of the action-drama. The announcement has truly impressed the fans, with a few requesting more updates about the movie. Surely, Annaatthe would be a treat for Thalaivar fans as they eagerly wait for the release.
Annaatthe will mark the maiden collaboration of Rajinikanth with director Siva. Touted to be an out and out family entertainer, the movie will have the Thalaivar essaying the role of a family man, unlike his recent ventures which featured him as an action hero.
It is also said that his character will have the essence of some popular roles he had essayed in the 80s and 90s. Interestingly, the Superstar has last essayed such a character in the 2005 movie Chandramukhi.
The movie will have lady superstar Nayanthara and National award winner Keerthy Suresh essaying important roles. Nayanthara will appear as Rajinikanth’s love interest, while Keerthy will essay the role of his younger sister. Annaatthe will also have Khusboo, Meena, Prakash Raj, Soori, Sathish, Vela Ramamoorthy, George Maryan in supporting roles. D Imman will compose music for the film, which will have a camera cranked by Vetri.
