The makers did not make any official announcement on the project and its cast and crew details. But they have come up with a surprise now, leaving cinephiles elated.

Aranmanai 4: The latest installment of the franchise is set for a release

While the first instalment of the franchise which was released in 2014 was a big hit, its sequel which hit the screens in 2016, too, managed to attract the audience to an extent. But the third instalment which came out in 2021 was a damp squib. The movie received flak owing to its unengaging screenplay.

The team has now revealed the first look of Aranmanai 4. It features a mother and her two kids looking at a huge bungalow which is possessed by an evil spirit. The characters' faces aren't revealed to leave the audience intrigued. The movie will be released as a Pongal outing in January 2024.
