Not much about the genre, plot and characters have been revealed about actress Nayanthara's upcoming film 'Dora' which is being directed by Dass Ramasamy.

Contrary to the perception that the film is a horror on the lines of Nayanthara's 2015 super hit 'Maya', the debutant director says that the film is actually a Fantasy Crime Thriller.

"The film is a crime thriller. There is a ghost, but the film will not have anything to terrorise the audience. The ghost will be a fantasy element within the crime thriller flick. The title 'Dora' has a connection with the story and we haven't selected the title just because it is a popular cartoon character. Thambi Ramaiah is acting as Nayan's father and he will be providing comic relief. Harish Uthaman plays a police officer. The story revolves around a car and Nayan. The first look where Nayan is shown facing a car, aptly captures the crux of the story."

Speaking about the status of the film, the former associate of director Sarkunam said "Talkie portions have completed. A song shoot and two more days of shoot remains. We are trying to release the film by the end of this year."

'Dora' is being produced by Sarkunam under his Sarkunam Cinemas banner and Hitesh Jhabhak of Nemichand Jhabak banner. Vivek-Merin duo is in charge of musical score. Dinesh Krishnan is taking care of cinematography while Gopi Krishna is handling the Edits.
