Actor Silambarasan’s fans who are eagerly waiting for the release of his upcoming political thriller Maanaadu have a new reason to rejoice. The makers of his latest film, Eeswaran, recently announced that the movie will be streaming on Over-the-top platform Disney + Hotstar from June 12. “Eeswaran has arrived. Check out Silmbarasan’s game that is a hit everywhere,” the Tamil translation of Hotstar’s tweet read. Along with the tweet, Hotstar also posted a motion poster where Simbu is spotted with a king cobra wrapped around his neck.
Eeswaran, directed by Suseenthiran and bankrolled by Balaji Kapa under the production banner Madhav Media, hit the big screens on January 14 this year. The rural drama stars Nidhhi Agerwal and Nanditha Shwetha as the female leads.
