The trailer of Andhagan, the long-delayed Tamil remake of Sriram Raghavan’s hit Hindi film Andhadhun, was released by the makers on Saturday. Headlined by Prashanth and directed by his father and filmmaker Thiagarajan, the film is set for a release in August.
The one-minute video shows Prashanth as a blind pianist caught in a web of lies when he witnesses a crime. We also see glimpses of the protagonist’s relationship with his girlfriend (played by Priya Anand), a police investigation (headed by Samuthirakani’s character), and a dangerous woman who plays them all (played by Simran).
The cast of Andhagan also features Karthik Muthuraman, Yogi Babu, KS Ravikumar, Vanitha Vijaykumar, Leela Samson, Manobala, child artiste Poovaiyar, Besant Ravi, Mohan Vaithiya, Lakshmi Pradeep, Rekha Suresh, Semmalar and Kavitha among others.
With music scored by Santhosh Narayanan, the film has dialogues by Pattukottai Prabhakar, cinematography by Ravi Yadav and editing by Sathish Suriya.
Andhagan, produced by Staar Movies, has been in the making for quite some time. Apart from Tamil, 2019’s Andhadhun has been remade in multiple languages; in Telugu as Maestro (2021), starring Nithiin, and in Malayalam as Bhramam (2021), headlined by Prithviraj Sukumaran.
