One is not likely to be unaware of Asuran which was directed by Vetrimaaran and starred Dhanush and Manju Warrier in the lead, amidst others and released in 2019. The movie was both commercially and critically successful.
Dhanush played both the younger and older versions of his character. Ken Karunas, Pasupathi, Prakash Raj and others were seen in strong, supporting roles. Until Karnan released, Asuran happened to be the highest grossing film of Dhanush and also fetched two National awards.
It is being remade in Telugu as Narappa, starring Venkatesh and Priyamani in the lead. Asuran was dubbed and released in Hindi last March, and received a huge response there as well. The film has been viewed by over three crore people on YouTube in just two months.
