'Mr Bhaarath' makers consider releasing film on July 24 (IANS Exclusive)
Chennai, July 6
The makers of director Niranjan's upcoming film 'Mr Bhaarath', featuring actor Bhaarath in the lead, are now considering releasing the film on July 24 this year.
Speaking to IANS, producer Sudhan Sundaram said, "It is true. We are considering the possibility of releasing our film on July 24 this year. It depends on Jana Nayagan's release. If 'Jana Nayagan' releases on July 24, we will pull back and push our film's release to a later date. Else, we will consider coming out on July 24."
The film, which has got a positive buzz in the industry, will be a rom-com that will revolve around the character of a simpleton called Mr Bhaarath.
For the unaware, Bhaarath and Niranjan are two well known YouTube creators who are now in the process of making their debut feature film 'Mr. Bhaarath'. The film's shooting was completed in July last year.
Producer Sudhan Sundaram of popular production house Passion Studios, had, at the time of the film's shooting being wrapped, said, "The team may be young, but their clarity and commitment have been truly commendable. As producers, we're usually skeptical about whether a fresh crew can match the demands of a full-scale film production. But Niranjan and his team completely surprised us-not only was the narrative engaging during scripting, but they also completed the entire shoot on schedule, with neat execution and professional planning. As producers, we are so happy to be collaborating with the highly energetic and entertaining team, and can't wait to present the super-cool theatrical entertainer for the fans."
Presented by director Lokesh Kanakaraj and produced by Sudhan Sundaram, Lokesh Kanagaraj, and Jagadish Palanisamy under the banners of Passion Studios, G Squad and The Route, Mr Bhaarath is now ready for release.
Apart from Bhaarath, the film will also feature a host of actors including Samyuktha Viswanathan, Bala Saravanan, Nidhi Pradeep, R. Sunder Rajan, Linga, and Adithya Kathir in pivotal roles.
On the technical front, the film has cinematography by Om Narayan, editing by Dhivakar Dennis and music by Pranav Muniraj. The film's visual tone has been enhanced by Art Director Bhavna Govardan. Costumes for the film have been designed by Navadevi Rajkumar while Suren G and Azhagiyakoothan have handled the department of sound. Choreography for the film is by Azhar and Amrin Abubakar is the Stunt Coordinator.

Honestly, I'm a bit skeptical. YouTube fame doesn't always translate to big screen success—look at some recent debuts that flopped. But the producer's confidence and Lokesh Kanagaraj's backing give me hope. Also, July 24 seems risky if 'Jana Nayagan' releases on same date. Better to wait for a clear window.
Love the professional approach from a young team! Completing shoot on schedule with neat execution is rare even for established players. And Samyuktha Viswanathan in the cast? She's talented. Will definitely watch this one in theaters if the buzz is real. #SupportIndianCinema 🎬
Just hoping the comedy isn't forced or cringe. YouTube creators often rely on loud humor that doesn't sit well on the big screen. But I'm willing to give them a chance—fresh talent needs encouragement. Also, the soundtrack by Pranav Muniraj could be a game-changer.
As someone who follows Tamil cinema from abroad, this concept sounds fresh—a simpleton rom-com is exactly what the industry needs after all the heavy action films. Lokesh's involvement is smart branding. Hope the release date works out; July 24 is just around the corner!
Good that they're being flexible with the release date. Clashing with 'Jana Nayagan' would be suicide for a small film. Smart move to assess competition. And kudos to the producers for backing young talent—Passion Studios always picks interesting projects. 👏
