Chennai, June 26

Taking to its X timeline, Screen Scene Media Entertainment, the production house producing the film, wrote, "The wait is over, Date for the tiger's arrival is locked. @iam_ravimohan's #KaratheyBabu hits screens worldwide on August 28. Directed by @ganeshkbabu. A @samcsmusic Musical. Produced by @screensceneoffl #SundarArumugam."

In February this year, the makers had announced that the unit had wrapped up the shooting of the film.

It may be recalled that Ravi Mohan had begun dubbing for his portions in the film from December 12 last year. The production house announced the beginning of the film's post production work by posting a video clip that showed Ravi Mohan arriving at the dubbing studio.

The production house had then said, "#KaratheyBabu starts speaking!!! @iam_RaviMohan @Screensceneoffl #SundarArumugam #KBDubbing."

Ravi Mohan, for his part, had said, "With all your blessings kickstarting the dubbing for my upcoming political entertainer #Karatheybabu. Directed by @ganeshkbabu. A @samcsmusic Musical. Produced by @screensceneoffl #SundarArumugam."

For the unaware, 'Karathey Babu' will be a realistic political thriller that will showcase the other side of an MLA.

Interestingly, Daudee Jiwal, the daughter of Tamil Nadu DGP Shankar Jiwal, plays the female lead in the film.

Screen Scene Media Entertainment Private Limited, which has produced successful films and the web series 'Mathagam', has teamed up with Ravi Mohan for the third time after 'Agilan' and 'Brother'.

Speaking about the film, director Ganesh K Babu, during an earlier interaction, had said, "Although there have been many films about politicians, their personal lives, relationships and feelings have not been discussed much on screen. This film explores another side of an MLA. It is shaping up to be an emotional and realistic political thriller."

On working with Ravi Mohan, he had said, "We are making the film very comfortably without any pressure. The reason for this is Mohan Ravi's full cooperation and dedication. I feel very happy to direct this movie."

Produced by Sundar Arumugam on a grand budget, the film features a number of versatile actors including director K S Ravikumar, Nasser, VTV Ganesh, Subramaniam Siva, Kavithalaya Krishnan, Pradeep Antony, Raja Rani Pandiyan, Ilan, Sam Anderson, Sri Dhanya, Sandeep Ravi Raj, Ananthi, Sindhu Priya, Ajith Ghosh, Kalki Raja, Knife Naren, Vetri, Aravind, Dharmaraj, Nandhini Senthamizhan, Jeeva Subramaniam and Manimegala.
