Rathnam completes censor formalities

Rathnam, directed by filmmaker Hari of Singam and Saamy fame, stars actor Vishal in the lead role. The film is scheduled to release on April 26 in theatres. Ahead of the film’s release, the makers revealed that the censor formalities are complete, with the film receiving a U/A certificate. With Hari’s films having an abundance of action and commercial elements, Rathnam will be no different, given that it is headlined by Vishal who is known for making films in the action genre.

Others in Rathnam’s cast include actors Priya Bhavani Shankar, Samuthirakani, Yogi Babu and Gautham Vasudev Menon, among others. Hari has also written the story, screenplay and dialogues for the film. The makers had released the trailer for the film, which follows the typical Hari style of showing an angry young man who takes violence as the solution to the problems.
