<p>Asuran has won a lot of praise since its release. The film, directed by Vetrimaaran won three National Awards. The film is produced by Kalaipuli S Thanu under V Creations.</p>

<p>‘Asuran’ is a period film featuring Dhanush and Manju Warrier in lead roles. The film is based on Poomani's novel titled Vekkai. The blockbuster film features Ken Karunas, Teejay Arunasalam, Pasupathy, and Prakash Raj in supporting roles.</p>

<p>Dhanush was last seen in director Karthik Subbaraj's ‘Jagame Thandhiram’, which premiered directly on Netflix.
