Actor Dhanush will be next seen playing the lead role in director Vetrimaaran's Asuran, an adaptation of the novel Vekkai written by Poomani. Apart from Dhanush, the film also stars Manju Warrier as female lead while Teejay, Ken Karunas, Balaji Sakthivel, Pasupathy and others play supporting roles.
The film is slated to release on October 4, and the makers have announced the censor rating. The rural drama is certified U/A by the Central Board of Film Certification. The film is produced by Kalaippuli S. Thanu under the banner V Creations.
The film's trailer and songs, composed by GV Prakash Kumar, have been launched and has garnered extremely favourable response from the audiences. Dhanush sports two distinct looks of the younger and middle-aged versions of his character.
On the technical front, Asuran is shot by ace lensman and Vetrimaaran's frequent collaborator Velraj while R. Ramar handles the editing department.
