Filmmaker Pa Ranjith’s much-awaited romance drama Natchathiram Nagargiradhu will hit screens on August 31, the makers announced on Thursday.
Ranjith announced the news through a special poster that features the film’s characters in the front in black and white, and a rainbow arch at the background hinting that the film might have queer themes.

With music from Tenma, the film has cinematography by A Kishor Kumar and editing by Selva RK. The film is produced by Vignesh Sundaresan, Manoj Leonel Jahson, and Ranjith through their Neelam Productions and Yaazhi Films banners.
Natchathiram Nagargiradhu, which wrapped shoots in December last year, is Ranjith’s return to the romance genre after Attakathi, his debut film which came out 10 years.
