Vadivukkarasi's horror thriller 'Granny' to hit screens on January 30

The horror thriller 'Granny', starring Vadivukkarasi, gets a U/A certificate and release date. Vijay Sethupathi revealed the film's title and poster.

"Here is the first look poster... Titled as #GRANNY - Vijay Sethupathi"

Chennai, Jan 23

The makers of director Vijaya Kumaaran's eagerly awaited horror thriller 'Granny', featuring veteran actress Vadivukkarasi in the lead, on Friday announced that the film would hit screens on January 30 this year.

It may be recalled that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has already cleared the film for release with a clean U/A certificate.

For the unaware, actor Vijay Sethupathi had only recently released the film's title as 'Granny'. In fact, on January 8 this year, Vijay Sethupathi had taken to his X timeline to release the title of the film.

Releasing the title poster, Vijay Sethupathi had written,"Here is the first look poster of VijayaMary Universal Media Production No.1 Titled as #GRANNY. Directed #Vijayakumaaran #Vadivukkarasi @iamsingapuli @actordhileepan @vijaysonofgod #Vijayamary @kukarthik1 @Gv_Aparna01 #Actorgajaraja @AnanthNag24 @teamaimpr."

The title poster released by Vijay Sethupathi had Vadivukkarasi, sporting an eerie look. Dressed as an old woman with flowing white hair, the actress appears to hold up a lantern in one hand while she is seen holding a staff in her other hand. Inside her, the silhouettes of two children are seen standing in a pathway that is surrounded by spirits. The title poster aroused the curiousity of onlookers, triggering interest in the film.

'Granny', apart from Vadivukkarasi, will also feature actor Dhileepan, the cousin of ace director A R Murugadoss, in a pivotal role. Actress G V Aparna too will be seen in an important role in the film which will also feature actor Singampuli.

On the technical front, the film will have cinematography by A Manikandan. It will have music by Chellaiah Pandian and editing by M S Gopi. Art direction for the film has been handled by PBK Mahendran. Stunts in the horror thriller, which has been co-produced by T Saravanan, have been choreographed by Action Prakash.

Interesting that Vijay Sethupathi announced it. Good to see senior actors getting solid lead roles in genre films. The technical team looks promising, especially Chellaiah Pandian for music - his background score could make or break the atmosphere.

U/A certificate for a horror film called 'Granny'? CBFC must have been in a generous mood 😅. Jokes aside, hope the film relies more on psychological tension and less on cheap jump scares. The poster concept with the children inside her is intriguing.

As someone who loves Tamil cinema but isn't from India, I find this fascinating. The cultural aspect of a 'granny' as a horror figure is universal yet can have very specific local flavors. Will definitely look for it on streaming platforms later.

Respectfully, I hope the story is strong. Sometimes our horror films get the atmosphere right but the plot feels rushed in the second half. With veterans like Vadivukkarasi leading, the performance will be top-notch at least. Fingers crossed for Vijay Kumaaran's direction.

My paati (grandmother) used to tell us such scary stories! This feels nostalgic in a weird way. 😂 The cast is good - Singampuli for some light relief maybe? Hope it does well. Need more original content in Tamil cinema.
