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

Kamal Haasan's upcoming Tamil film, titled 'Sandiyar,' will be directed by SU Arun Kumar with music by Anirudh Ravichander. The title, meaning fighter or rogue, revives a controversial name Haasan previously used in 2003 but changed due to objections over caste implications. The film's first look features Haasan with a gun, and further cast details are awaited. This announcement follows Haasan's recent projects and collaborations, including films with Rajinikanth.
