The much-anticipated Tamil film Vanangaan, starring Arun Vijay and directed by Bala, faced an unexpected hurdle on its release day, Friday, coinciding with the Pongal festival. Morning shows across several theaters were canceled due to a technical issue involving the Key Delivery Message (KDM), which disrupted the distribution of the film's digital keys.
The delay disappointed fans eager to watch the film's first screenings. Social media platforms were flooded with messages expressing frustration over the situation. The production team quickly addressed the problem, assuring audiences that the screenings would resume by noon.
Despite the initial setback, the movie is expected to regain momentum due to its strong anticipation and audience support. Vanangaan marks the first collaboration between Arun Vijay and director Bala. The film features Arun Vijay as Koti, a hearing and speech-impaired man who becomes a vigilante after witnessing a heinous crime. The story explores Koti's fight against injustice and his quest for redemption.
Roshini Prakash plays the female lead, Teena, alongside a supporting cast that includes Mysskin, Samuthirakani, and Chhaya Devi. The film is produced by Bala and Suresh Kamatchi, with cinematography by R.B. Gurudev and editing by Sathish Suriya. Music is composed by G.V. Prakash Kumar, with a background score by Sam C.S.
