GV Prakash Kumar starrer ‘Blackmail’ finally gets a release date after delay

In the world of cinema, some films build hype not just through posters or trailers, but by making fans wait a little longer. ‘Blackmail’, the upcoming thriller directed by Mu Muran and starring GV Prakash, is one such film.

After weeks of guessing, the team has finally confirmed that the movie will arrive in theatres on September 12.

At the time, JDS Film Factory, the production house, explained the delay as “unavoidable circumstances” and promised to share a new date soon.

Now, the wait is over.

‘Blackmail’ is led by GV Prakash, who plays the central role, and actress Teju Ashwini. The cast also includes Srikanth, Bindhu Madhavi, Linga, Thilak Ramesh, and Muthukumar.

The film is a production of A Deivakani and presentation of Jayakodi Amalraj under the JDS Film Factory banner. Director Mu Muran, who previously impressed audiences with ‘Iravukku Aayiram Kangal’, is likely to deliver another edge-of-the-seat thriller.

The first-look poster of ‘Blackmail’ gave fans a taste of what’s to come. In it, G V Prakash stands next to a motorbike with a number plate that reads “Money”.
