Chennai, May 12 || Director Anuraj Manohar’s eagerly-awaited Malayalam action drama ‘Narivetta‘, featuring actor Tovino Thomas in the lead, will hit screens worldwide on May 23 this year, its makers have now announced.
The makers of the film, Indian Cinema Company, took to their Instagram page to make the announcement. It said, "Date Locked & Loaded!! #Narivetta Releasing On May 23."
It may be recalled that only on Saturday, the team announced that the Censor Board had cleared the film for release with a U/A certificate.
The film, which is based on true events, has triggered huge expecatations as it will mark the acting debut of ace Tamil film director Cheran in Malayalam.
A trailer of the film released recently gave away the fact that Tovino Thomas, director Cheran and actor Suraj Venjaramoodu all play cops in the film.
While Cheran plays the role of a Tamilian, Tovino plays a cop character that is ranked much lower to him.
The trailer makes it clear, right at the start, that the film is about a revolution and the fight for justice. It begins with the police moving in to demolish huts, which the police claim has been built illegally on forest land.
