Kamal Haasan Announces Next Tamil Film 'Sandiyar' Directed by SU Arun KumarPreviousNext

Kamal Haasan's next Tamil film, titled 'Sandiyar', will be directed by SU Arun Kumar and feature music by Anirudh Ravichander. The first-look poster shows Haasan in a rugged appearance holding a gun. Produced by Raaj Kamal Films International and Turmeric Media, the film marks Haasan's first collaboration with Arun Kumar. The title revives a previously controversial name from 2003, which Haasan had to change due to objections. Further details about the cast, storyline, and release date are yet to be announced.
