Chiyaan is currently on a promotional spree for 'Thangalaan'. A multi-city tour is going on in full swing and the actor has been travelling to major cities. Earlier, the makers held events in Hyderabad and Chennai. After the Bengaluru event that was held on August 6, the team will now move to Mumbai and Kochi to promote the film.
Directed by Pa. Ranjith, 'Thangalaan' is one of the most-anticipated movies of the year. It is all set to hit the theatres on August 15. Vikram has put in a lot of hard work to get into the skin of his character of a tribal warrior. The story of 'Thangalaan' is set against the backdrop of the historic Kolar gold fields (KGF) in the early 1900s. It narrates the forgotten role of oppressed communities in the exploration of gold in southern India.
Coming back to Rishab Shetty, he is currently shooting for 'Kantara' prequel, which is said to be releasing in December 2024.
