‘Rathnam’ is an upcoming Tamil language action drama. Starring actor Vishal, the film is directed by Hari and is packed with daunting fight sequences, punchlines, vicious villains, and a political ruse. Vishal will play the role of Rathnam, “an angry young man” who goes after goons after the female lead in the film gets abducted.
The film will be released in Tamil and Telugu languages and hit the theatres on April 26, 2024.
‘Rathnam’ marks the third collab between Vishal and Hari
Vishal and director Hari first collaborated on the film ‘Thamarabharani’ released in 2006. After that, the duo worked for the second time in the 2014 film ‘Poojai.’ The film ‘Rathnam’ is the third work for both Vishal and Hari together. The female lead for the film will star actress Priya Bhavani Shankar.
