The motion poster of acclaimed director Cheran’s next film Thirumanam was released by actor Dhanush recently on social media and received an overwhelming response. The director is back after a hiatus with his new feel-good emotional drama.

Thambi Ramaiah’s son Umapathy plays the lead role in the film which also has Sukanya, MS Baskar, Bala Saravanan, Kavya and Manobala in pivotal roles. Besides these actors, Cheran also plays a key character in the film.

Speaking at the launch event, Cheran said that he lost money in the C2H and was down for a few years. “But I met a lot of people around that time which helped me know the life more. A single announcement from Vijay Sethupathi saying that he would do a film with me actually relaxed my financial situation. The money lenders got confidence that I will return back their money.”

Siddharth Vipin is composing the music for the film and Rajesh Yadav has cranked the camera. Vijay Sethupathi who will be joining hands with Cheran for a new film next year launched the first look and title of the film.
