Jagame
Thandhiram,
the
much-awaited
Dhanush
starrer,
has
finally
got
its
release
date.
The
Karthik
Subbaraj
directorial
has
been
slated
to
premiere
on
the
renowned
OTT
platform
Netflix,
on
June
18,
2021.
The
makers
of
Jagame
Thandhiram
confirmed
the
reports
and
announced
the
release
date
with
a
social
media
post,
recently.
Karthik
Subbaraj,
the
director
of
the
Dhanush
starrer
shared
the
new
release
date
poster
of
the
movie
on
his
official
Twitter
page
and
wrote:
"#JagameThandhiram
from
June
18th...
So
excited
to
show
you
all,
Our
Film!!." The
release
date
announcement
has
come
out
as
a
great
relief
for
the
Dhanush
fans
and
cine-goers,
who
have
been
eagerly
waiting
for
the
film.
Jagame
Thandhiram,
which
was
originally
slated
to
hit
the
theatres
in
May
2020,
was
delayed
indefinitely
due
to
the
novel
coronavirus
pandemic.
Even
though
the
makers
later
considered
a
theatrical
release,
things
did
not
work
out
and
they
eventually
opted
for
a
Netflix
release.
As
reported
earlier,
leading
man
Dhanush
is
said
to
be
upset
with
the
film
going
the
OTT
way.
The
sources
suggest
that
the
actor
wanted
to
wait
till
the
theatres
reopen
to
release
Jagame
Thandhiram,
as
it
is
an
ambitious
project
for
both
him
and
director
Karthik
Subbaraj.
The
OTT
release
has
lead
to
a
fallout
between
the
National
award-winning
actor
and
S
Sashikanth,
the
producer
of
the
film.
Jagame
Thandhiram
features
Aishwarya
Lekshmi
and
Sanchana
Natarajan
as
the
female
leads
opposite
Dhanush.
The
movie
will
have
an
extensive
star
cast,
including
James
Cosmo,
Kalaiyarasan,
Malayalam
actor
Joju
George,
Soundararaja,
Devan,
Vadivukkarasi,
Chinni
Jayanth,
Ashwanth
Ashokkumar,
and
so
on
in
the
supporting
roles.
Santhosh
Narayanan
has
composed
the
songs
and
background
score.
Shreyaas
Krishna
is
the
director
of
photography.
Vivek
Harshan
handles
the
editing.
