Dhruva Natchathiram 2023: Release date, trailer, plot, cast, behind the scenes, OTT partner and more

Chiyaan Vikram's long-delayed film Dhruva Natchathiram is all set to hit screens on November 24. The film marks the maiden collaboration between Chiyaan and Gautham Vasudev Menon. Here's all you need to know about the film.

An impressive trailer
The trailer of the spy thriller begins with a top spy, who seems to be disheartened by the response to the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, devising a plan to form a covert team that can function without the hurdles of bureaucracy. He is seen saying that the new team will not obey the law and that they will function independently and take down terrorists. He adds that no one will know about their existence as well.

Vikram is seen in a dashing avatar as the top spy. However, Vinayakan, who plays the prime antagonist also manages to grab the eyeballs.

Check out the trailer below.

Dhruva Natchathiram runtime
The film has been cleared with the U/A certificate by the Censor Board. The action-entertainer's runtime has been revealed as 2 hours and 25 minutes.

Film been lying in the cans for a while now
Dhruva Natchathiram has been long in the making. The film was first supposed to be made with Suriya and the team had even locked in the cast and crew. During a recent conversation, Gautham Menon revealed that the Soorarai Pottru actor was not quite convinced with the film and was doubtful if the project would work. He added that Suriya couldn't connect with the idea.

Gautham Menon then began working on Ajith's Yennai Arindhaal (2015), and it was after the success of the film, that Vikram came on board.

An ensemble star cast
The star cast includes Vikram, Ritu Varma, Radhakrishnan Parthiban, Radikaa Sarathkumar, Simran, Divya Dharshini, Munna Simon, Vamsi Krishna, Salim Baig, Sathish Krishnan, Maya S Krishnan and others.

While the music for the film is by Harris Jayara, cinematography is by Manoj Paramahamsa, SR Kathir and Vishnu Dev. Editing is by Anthony. The film is bankrolled by Ondraga Entertainment and Oruoorileoru Film House.
