Veteran actor Charu Haasan, who was last seen in movies like Saithan and Odu Raja Odu in supporting roles, is back on screen after a break, this time playing the full fledged hero in the action packed gangster love story Dhadha 87 directed by debutant Vijay Sri G.

Dhadha 87 has Charuhasan playing Sathya, a reminder of Kamal Haasan's yesteryear classic Sathya, and Charuhasan's character is that of a gangster who is out of prison after serving a term of 30 years in jail, and the situations he faces after his release, that make him take up to violent ways again, and the romance that happens in his life.

Dhadha 87 also stars Saroja (Keerthy Suresh's grandmother who had acted in Kadaikutty Singam), Janagaraj, Anand Pandi, Jeni Pallavi and Anu Lavanya, and the movie has music by Leander, Al Rufian and cinematography by Raja Pandi. Produced by Kalai Cinemas, Dhadha 87 releases worldwide on March 1.
