About Dhruva Natchathiram
The main cast of Dhruva Natchathiram includes Vikram, Aishwarya Rajesh, Simran,Parthiban, Ritu Varma, Radhika, Divyadarshini, and Arjun Das. The film’s music is composed by Harris Jayaraj.
The new movie trailer expressed parts of the 2011 Mumbai bomb blasts. The government creates a special team called Basement, with spies and soldiers, to keep the country safe. Dhruv, played by Vikram, is chosen to lead the team, and they work with flexibility, without strict rules. The trailer showed exciting action scenes, hinting at a potential danger to Basement that the team has to uncover using their network.
First announced with Suriya in 2013, the director put Dhruva Natchathiram on hold a few months later due to disagreements with the actor.
However, in mid-2015, he hinted at a potential comeback and met with several actors before choosing Vikram for the main role. The film started shooting in 2017, covering seven countries and wrapping up in February 2023.
