Laabam, which has been jointly produced by our firm in association with Vijay Sethupathi Productions, is one such film, featuring actor Vijay Sethupathi in the lead.
"We were working diligently to complete the final leg of post production associated with Laabam in a bid to bring the film to you in theatres at the earliest when our director SP Jananathan passed away. His demise has left us shattered, shocked, and in a state of deep sorrow.
"However, director SP Jananathan has completed most of the work pertaining to Laabam and the remaining work that is pending will be completed by our Laabam team.
"We therefore wish to inform you that as planned, we will be releasing Laabam in both Tamil and Telugu this April in theatres on a massive scale.
"There can be no doubt that Laabam, will surpass the expectations of director SP Jananathan's fans, and will be the crowning glory of the director's filmography.
