Last year, director Vignesh Shivan announced that he will be producing Nayanthara's upcoming movie titled 'Netrikann'. Touted to be another woman-centric thriller, the film went on the floors in September last year, and the latest addition to the cast is actor Ajmal Ameer.

The news was confirmed by the actor himself in an interview. He said, "Netrikann revolves around two pivotal characters. While Nayanthara plays one of the roles, I play the other. It's a film with a lot of twists and turns. With a very strong technical team, we're certain that the film will come out very well."

The film is believed to be an official remake of Korean thriller 'Blind' released in 2011. The movie directed by Milan Rau will portray the story of two characters played by Nayanthara and Ajmal. Nayanthara plays a cadet at a police academy, who loses her eyesight after a car accident. The film also features a dog in an important role.

Ajmal is known for his performances in movies like 'Anjathe' and 'Ko'. Last seen in AL Vijay's 'Devi 2', Ajmal is also part of a Malayalam horror thriller titled 'Kshanam' that has Anu Sithara's sister Anu Sonara in the female lead. Meanwhile, Nayanthara will be next seen in the devotional film ‘Mookuthi Amman’. She is also shooting for Rajinikanth's Annaatthe, directed by Siruthai Siva.
