The Evanukku Engeyo Matcham Irukku actor had his last outing in Thudikkum Karangal crafted by Velu Doss with actress Misha Narang in the female lead role. The entertainer which was released last year had a bad run in the box office. The actor is now set to try and get back to winning ways with his upcoming drama Pogumidam Vegu Thooramillai. Debutant filmmaker Micheal K Raja has written and directed the drama. Actor Karunas has essayed a pivotal part in the flick. The entertainer has entered the post production stage.
The makers have now officially announced the release date of the flick on social media. Pogumidam Vegu Thooramillai will be out in theaters on 23rd of August. Taking to his official X profile, musician N R Raghunandan dropped a poster from the film and wrote, “Excited to announce the grand release of my next movie ‘Pogumidam Vegu Thooramillai’! Starring Vemal and Karunas, directed by Micheal K Raja and produced by Siva Killari. Get ready for an unforgettable cinematic experience!” Here is the post made by the music director.
The production house unveiled the trailer of Pogumidam Vegu Thooramillai in May of this year. It had actor Vemal as a hearse driver getting entangled in a complex situation on his journey to deliver a dead body at a funeral. Actor Karunas was seen as a street theater artist, to whom Vemal offers a hitchhike, keeps narrating stories through their ride. Earlier speaking about the movie to a leading daily, storyteller Micheal K Raja revealed, “Pogumidam Vegu Thooramillai will explore intricate human nature and emotions. Though the film is predicated on a serious premise, it will have a lot of situational comedy scenes. I did not want to write a separate comedy track as I felt it would disturb the nub of the drama. I am confident the movie will offer a brilliant experience to its audience.”
