Mari Selvaraj's previous film 'Pariyerum Perumal' was well received by the fans as it spoke about caste inequalities. Following Karnan, Dhanush, who has completed his Bollywood film with Akshay Kumar, Atrangi Re, has been focusing on his other films including Karthik Naren's D43 and Selvaraghavan's 'Nane Varuven'. Dhanush's 'Jagame Thanthiram' directed by Karthik Subburaj is also awaiting release.
‘Jagame Thanthiram’, which was announced to hit the screens on May 1, 2020, was postponed due to the coronavirus threat. Meanwhile, there are occasional reports that the film may release on OTT. However, the film crew has not yet made an official announcement.
