G V Prakash's 'Immortal' to hit screens on July 23
Chennai, June 30
The makers of director Mariyappan Chinna's horror thriller 'Immortal', featuring actors G V Prakash and Kayadu Lohar in the lead, have now announced that their film will hit screens worldwide on July 23 this year.
Taking to his X timeline, G V Prakash wrote, "#Immortal from July 23 in theatres."
The actor, had, only in May this year, announced that shooting for the film had been wrapped up.
Sources had said that the makers were initially intending to release the film in May this year. However, they have now chosen to release the film on July 23.
The film has been eagerly awaited ever since the makers released a chilling and entertaining teaser of the film last year.
Sharing the teaser on his X timeline, G V Prakash Kumar had then said, "Here is #Immortal teaser for all of u ... the mystery world unveils now .. @11Lohar @AKfilmfactory #maarichinna."
The teaser begins on a funny romantic note. It has G V Prakash, who is a die hard romantic, having a conversation with a friend. He says, "Imagine how it would be if a handsome guy like me and a very beautiful girl stayed in the same house." The friend replies, "It would be jealousy-inducing." To this, G V Prakash gleefully says, "It must."
The teaser then shows G V Prakash having a conversation with actress Kayadu Lohar in a flat that looks exactly like the one he was seen talking about a while ago to his friend.
"If I ask you something, will you mistake me," he asks her and she shoots back, saying, "You will anyway ask something that is wrong."
The teaser makes it evident that G V Prakash's character in the film is romantically interested in the character that Kayadu Lohar plays. He tells her, "My room has a lot of mosquito problems" to which she replies, "Mine has problems caused by bats. Is it alright?"
It is then that the horror phase starts. He wakes up in the middle of the night and looks through the keyhole, only to find a beast with the face of a bat!
The film, apart from G V Prakash Kumar and Kayadu Lohar, also features a host of actors including TM Karthik, Kumar Natarajan, Lollu Sabha Maaran, Aaditya Kathir, Arshu Maharjan, Pema Tsamchoe and Sunita Shrestha.
On the technical front, the film, which has been produced by Arunkumar Dhanasekaran, has cinematography by Arun Radhakrishnan and music by Sam CS. Editing for the film is by San Lokesh while art direction is by Siva Sankar. Stunts for the film have been choreographed by R.Sakthi Saravanan while dances have been choreographed by Sabarish.

Honestly, I hope the horror elements don't get overshadowed by the romance. The teaser showed a nice balance though. Kayadu Lohar seems talented. Let's see if this one breaks the usual horror movie template in Tamil cinema.
Sam CS doing music? That's a big plus! His background scores in recent films have been top-notch. The bat creature design from the teaser looked eerie. Hope the VFX holds up well on the big screen. July 23 can't come soon enough! 🔥
As someone who loves horror films from around the world, I'm intrigued by the Indian take on this genre. The teaser had a good mix of humor and scares. Hope the story doesn't rely too much on jump scares. Best of luck to the team! 🦇
I appreciate GV Prakash for experimenting beyond music. But let's be real - the teaser could've been tighter. The romantic portions felt a bit stretched. Still, giving it a chance because the horror premise is fresh. Hope the screenplay is gripping! 🎥
