South Indian actress Nayanthara’s next movie, the Tamil thriller ‘Netrikann’, will skip a theatrical release and head to streaming, Disney+ Hotstar has announced in a tweet.
The movie, which faced delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, doesn’t have a release date yet.
‘Netrikann’ (‘The Third Eye’) is reportedly a remake of the 2011 Korean movie ‘Blind’, which was about a female police cadet who is blinded in a hit-and-run accident and later assists a detective in the case. A Bollywood remake of the Korean film is also in the works with Sonam K Ahuja taking the lead.
‘Netrikann’ is directed by Milind Rau and produced by Nayanthara’s partner Vignesh Shivan under his banner Rowdy Pictures.
“Happy & proud [to] be associated !!! Release date very very soon,” tweeted Shivan along with a post about ‘Netrikann’. The filmmaker has been dating Nayanthara since 2015.
“Both Atlee and Shah Rukh Khan have been in conversation with Nayanthara for a while now and things have finally fallen in place. The actress has come on board the action thriller and the paperwork too has been done,” a source was quoted as saying by Pinkvilla on July 21.
