More about Arasan
Arasan is an upcoming gangster action drama starring Silambarasan in the lead role. Directed by Vetrimaaran, the makers recently unveiled an announcement teaser featuring director Nelson Dilipkumar in a cameo appearance.
The movie revolves around a man who faces legal trials in court while pleading innocence. However, in a flashback, he is revealed to be responsible for several violent crimes, leading to a blood-soaked narrative.
Arasan is set within the Vada Chennai cinematic universe, but it is not a sequel to the Dhanush-starrer. Instead, it serves as a spin-off, with several overlapping characters expected to appear.
While more details about the film are yet to be revealed, Anirudh Ravichander has been confirmed as the composer, marking his first feature-film collaboration with STR after their infamous single “Beep Song.”
