‘Dhruva Natchathiram’ is one of the most-awaited films in Tamil cinema. Directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon and starring Vikram, the spy thriller has faced multiple delays due to financial and legal problems. The film was initially planned with Suriya in the lead role before Vikram joined the project. Key cast members include Ritu Varma, Aishwarya Rajesh, Parthiban, and Simran. Music is composed by Harris Jayaraj. The teaser released in 2018 generated excitement, but delays persisted due to the COVID-19 lockdown. During this period, Gautham Menon acted in other films to address financial debts. Following a recent Chennai High Court order, the film is now set to release before June 15, with proper monitoring of income and expenses. Gautham Menon shared an emotional statement alleging that some men attempted to destroy his career and stop the film’s release. He credited his legal advisor, senior lawyer Abdul Hameed, for providing support during this challenging period. The court’s decision is seen as historic, offering hope for the film’s eventual release and serving as a precedent for other financially troubled films in the industry.
