After playing the role of a swashbuckling antagonist opposite Ajith in Yennai Arindhaal, Arun Vijay has been off the Kollywood scene for the past two years. He played the villain in the Telugu film Bruce Lee The Fighter and he is now preparing for a return as the protagonist in his next cop film, Kuttrram 23.
Kuttram 23 is directed by Arivazhagan of Eeram fame. Across Films's plan to screen the film for the trade people was much apprciated as the distributors were satisfied with the movie's output. Recently no big films are screened to distributors before the release but Kuttram 23 is one of the rare movies to be screened.
The film was initially planned for a Pongal 2016 release but was eventually postponed owing to unavoidable circumstances. The film is slated for a March 3rd release.
