The much-awaited political action thriller Ananthan Kaadu, written by acclaimed screenwriter Murali Gopy and directed by Jiyen Krishnakumar, has arrived in theatres today (June 25).

Set during the late 1980s and early 1990s, Ananthan Kaadu explores a turbulent period in India’s political and social history.

Arya plays Vetri, a central figure caught in the middle of these shifting power dynamics. Murali Gopy also appears in a key role as Thankaraj.
The film has generated considerable interest among moviegoers due to its political backdrop and the involvement of Murali Gopy, who is known for writing films such as Lucifer and Empuraan.
