‘Kara’: Dhanush-Vignesh Raja movie gets a title

The upcoming movie of Tamil star Dhanush, directed by Vignesh Raja, has got a title. The movie, bankrolled by Ishari K Ganesh of Vels Film International, has been named Kara.

The makers released the first-look poster of the movie featuring an intense Dhanush. The film’s tagline reads, “Sometimes staying dangerous is the only way to stay alive.”

Vignesh made a successful directorial debut with the 2023 thriller Por Thozhil. The movie starred Sarathkumar and Ashok Selvan in prominent roles. It was one of the final movies of veteran Sarath Babu, who passed away on May 22, 2023.

With Kara, Vignesh joins hands with his Por Thozhil writer Alfred Prakash. G V Prakash is the music composer for the movie while Theni Eashwar has been roped in as the cinematographer. The makers are planning to release the movie in Summer 2026.

Dhanush was last seen in Idli Kadai, his fourth directorial. The movie also starred Arun Vijay, Shalini Pandey, Nithya Menen and Rajkiran.

The Hindu review of the movie said, “Idli Kadai never promises to redefine the template. After NEEK, Dhanush seems to have dug deeper, perhaps wishing to taste the pleasures of a comfort meal, and this film is just that. It wishes to make you forget about fancy restaurant meals and remind you of a flavour you might have forgotten about, soothe you with its familiarity and leave you with a full heart.”
