The versatile actor, who is now winning praise from several quarters for his portrayal of Aditha Karikalan in Ponniyin Selvan 2, has undergone a massive transformation for the Ranjith directorial. His appearance is already the talk of the town and cinephiles are waiting to see him unleash the acting beast in him when the film hits the screens.

Gnanavel Raja, who is bankrolling the period drama under Studio Green, has now revealed his plans with regard to providing wider reach to the movie. In a recent interview, he has said that Ranjith himself has become excited after watching the edited version of some of the portions.

He said, "Ranjith spoke to me over 30 minutes the other day as he was super excited. As a filmmaker, he shouldn't have been that excited as everything has been shot as per his vision. But the output has left him thrilled."

He revealed that the team is planning to screen Thangalaan in around nine prestigious film festivals. According to him, they are also eyeing the Academy Awards. Berlin and Toronto are two of the major film festivals they have in their mind with respect to screening the movie.
