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

He further shared his vision of developing the film into a franchise centred around Vikram's character, should it resonate well with the audiences. 

Addressing the challenges faced during the film's journey, Gautham Menon stated, "There are small hurdles, but I am overcoming them slowly." 

According to rge producers, fans can expect the release of Dhruva Natchathiram in cinemas this month or the next.
