Annabelle Sethupathi, directed by debutant Deepak Sundarrajan, son of filmmaker-turned-actor R Sundarrajan, is the third movie of Vijay Sethupathi to release this month. Taapsee Pannu will play the female lead in the project, which is billed as a horror-comedy from the time of its announcement. 

The trailer of the film, which will release in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam and Kannada, was released by Mohanlal, Suriya and Venkatesh a couple of weeks ago, along with the announcement of its release date. The makers had also released a sneak peek, a few character posters and a couple of music videos from the film recently.

When will Annabelle Sethupathi release?

The movie will premiere on Disney+ Hotstar on September 17. Titled Annabelle Subramaniam initially, the film, which was shot in and around Jaipur, has its story centered around a palatial bungalow. A burglar, who barges into a huge palace to steal valuable items, bumps into a slew of ghosts. The series of events that unfolds after she strikes a deal with the ghosts are said to be the highlights of the movie. Goutham George has cranked the camera for the project which has editing by Pradeep E Ragav and music by Krishna Kishor. 

Is Vijay Sethupathi appearing only in the film's latter half?
