Maran. “It’s packed with thrills, surprises, and emotional depth that can be enjoyed with family and friends.”

GV Prakash Kumar headlines the ensemble cast, which also includes Teju Ashwini, Srikanth, and Bindu Madhavi in key roles. “GV Prakash sir is the go-to name for strong content-driven scripts. He was my first and only choice,” the director adds.

Backed by a stellar technical crew, the film features music by Sam CS and a special track by D. Imman. Mu. Maran also extends his gratitude to producer Jayakkodi Amalraj for supporting the film’s vision through every challenge.

With high expectations riding on its release, Blackmail promises to be another gripping entry in Tamil cinema’s thriller genre.
