Natchathiram:
Chapter
One-
Yuddha
Kaandam
is
an
upcoming
action
spy
thriller
helmed
by
maverick
filmmaker
Gautham
Vasudev
Menon.
The
movie
has
been
in
the
making
for
quite
some
time
now
and
fans
of
the
versatile
actor
are
breathing
a
sigh
of
relief
as
the
new
theatrical
release
date
is
announced.
At
first,
the
project
was
supposed
to
be
made
with
Suriya
in
the
lead,
marking
another
exciting
collaboration
with
the
director
after
Kaakha
Kaakha
and
Vaaranam
Aayiram,
in
2013.
However,
it
was
shelved
after
creative
differences
cropped
up
between
them.
Later,
the
production
began
with
Vikram
in
the
lead
in
2016.
It
has
been
one
helluva
journey
in
the
production
phase
for
the
unit
which
shot
in
seven
countries.
