The filmmakers ensure maximum reach by bringing out the film in several languages, including Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam. This multi-lingual launch reflects the universality of themes such as family legacy and one’s origin the film addresses.
Dhanush’s Dual Role & Ensemble Cast
For Dhanush, the film is a really important project as he not only plays the title character of Murugan, but also took on the tasks of writing and directing it as well. This is a huge draw for the movie, getting Dhanush’s very strong effort both as a lead actor and creative force. Ivli Kadai also has the added plus factor of Dhanush with Nithya Menen, who created magic in another successful film.
The very seasoned set of actors such as Rajkiran and Sathyaraj adds prestige to the family of the deep rural set, while Arun Vijay plays the antagonist. Yet another major talking point is G. V. Prakash Kumar, who has composed the film’s music, which beautifully syncs into the emotional beats of the narration.
