Dhanush is getting ready for one of his biggest releases ever. His forthcoming film ‘Uthamaputhiran’, which is set to hit the screens on Deepavali day, will be released in 600 cinema halls in Tamil Nadu alone.

“The film has been shaped up in such a way that it would be liked by one and all irrespective of what age or section they belong to. Hence the producers and distributors are planning such a big release”, sources in the know say.

Directed by Mithran R Jawahar, Dhanush’s lucky mascot, the film, which is a remake of Telugu blockbuster ‘Ready’, is produced by N V Mohan Apparao and G Ramesh on Balaji Studios banner.

“The on-screen chemistry between Dhanush and Genelia is great. Action scenes will be one of the highlights of ‘Uthamaputhiran’ while comedy portions involving Dhanush and his Padikadhavan co-star Vivek will bring the roof down”, sources add.
