Actor Yogi Babu’s upcoming film with director Chimbudevan, Boat, has a new release date.
On Monday, the makers of the film unveiled a new promo video to announce that the film will release in theatres on August 2.
The promo, just like the previously released teaser of the film, showed glimpses from a story set in pre-Independence, in 1943, when Japan bombarded the Madras presidency. The story follows 10 strangers who got onto a boat to seek shelter in the Bay of Bengal. The highly-heterogenous group on the boat, and Yogi Babu’s boatman character, are forced to make a harsh choice when they have to deboard three of the occupants in order to save the rest.
Also written by Chimbudevan, Boat also stars Gouri G Kishan, MS Bhaskar, Chinni Jayanth, Chaams, Jesse Fox-Allen, Madhumitha, Sha Ra, Kollapuli Leela, and Aakshath Das in pivotal roles.
With music composed by Ghibran, the film will have cinematography by Madhesh Manickam, editing by Mani Maran, production design by T Santhanam, and art direction by S Ayyappan. Boat is produced by Maali and Maanvi Movie Makers and Chimbudeven Entertainment.
