Thangalaan: Vikram’s Epic Tale Set in the 19th-Century Mining Era to Hit Theaters in April

Renowned filmmaker Pa Ranjith’s upcoming film, Thangalaan, is set to transport audiences back to the early 19th-century mining milieu. Starring a stellar cast including Malavika Mohanan, Parvathy Thiruvothu, and Hollywood actor Daniel Caltagirone alongside Vikram in the lead role, the much-anticipated movie is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release in April of this year.

In a recent reveal by Studio Green on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), brand-new posters featuring Vikram were showcased. The striking visuals depicted Vikram in a loincloth, standing in the midst of a desert, gripping a stick, and gazing resolutely forward. Accompanying the images was a caption that hinted at the film’s intense narrative: “History awaits to be written in blood and gold. #ThangalaanFromApril2024 #HappyPongal #HappyMakarSankranti.” Notably, the film was initially slated to hit screens on January 26.
