After facing multiple delays, Anupama Parameswaran’s thriller Lockdown is finally set to release in cinemas tomorrow (January 30), only in Tamil. The film marks the directorial debut of AR Jeeva.
However, the buzz around the movie remains extremely low, and except for Chennai, shows have not been allocated in most major cities, despite the film being backed by Lyca Productions.
What has surprised many is Anupama Parameswaran’s silence regarding the film. Netizens have observed that the actress has not posted anything about Lockdown on social media, either now or earlier when the release was announced. While Lyca Productions appears to be doing its part, the actress’ no-promotion approach has left fans and moviegoers puzzled.
This has led to speculation online about whether there is any issue between Anupama and the film’s team. Whether the actress will address this remains to be seen.
The film also stars Charlie, Nirosha, Priya Venkat, Livingston, Indhumathi, and Rajkumar in key roles. NR Raghunanthan and Siddharth Vipin have composed the music.
