Dhruva Natchathiram is director Gautham Menon's most ambitious movie yet. However, the movie was stuck in production hell for over seven years. Earlier this year, Gautham expressed confidence in ending the long wait of his fans by releasing it in movies. It was said that the movie might be released in July.

"There are small hurdles, but I am overcoming them slowly," Gautham had said at the time. But, the release didn't happen as planned.

Dhruva Natchathiram will become a franchise

Gautham's ambition won't end with the release of this movie in cinemas. But, it's only the beginning. The director earlier revealed that he has plans to turn this movie into a movie series, following the adventures of Vikram's John, a high-ranking RAW officer.

Besides Vikram, Dhruva Natchathiram also features an impressive ensemble cast, including Simran, Ritu Varma, Aishwarya Rajesh, Parthiepan, Raadhika Sarathkumar, Dhivyadharshini, Vamsi Krishna, and Sathish Krishnan.
