We had reported earlier that Nayanthara had teamed up with director Ashwin Saravanan for the horror thriller titled Connect. The latest we hear about the film is that the work has been wrapped up and that it is expected to hit screens soon. The film is bankrolled by Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan's production house, Rowdy Pictures. Now one of the producers, Vignesh Shivan, is all praise for the film.
Taking to his social media page, Vignesh Shivan said that the horror element in the film is extraordinary and lauded the performances of all the actors in it. He wrote, "Thank U @Ashwin_saravana for an extraordinary horror movie. We know u r good at it but u jus meratified us more than expected kudos to U & ur stunning team Very good performances frm #LadySuperStar #Nayanthara #SathyaRaj sir AnupamPKher & the entire cast #HappyOnam indeed (sic)."
Music for the film is by Prithvi Chandrasekhar, who had earlier worked in Boomika. Cinematography is by Manikantan Ramachary. The film was announced on the birthday of Nayanthara last year. The first-look poster had Nayanthara drawing a cross symbol using 'holy water' in her house and yet another poster from the film had child artiste Haniya Nafisa standing in a dark room peeping out of the window with cross symbols in reverse behind her. The poster had the tagline, "The devil doesn't leave quietly."
The film marks the reunion of Nayanthara and Ashwin Saravanan, who had earlier worked together in the horror thriller Maya (2015). The neo-noir horror thriller was well received by the audience. Connect also marks the comeback of Bollywood actor Anupam Kher in Tamil. He was last seen in Kuttrapathirikkai (2007). Sathyaraj, who had played Nayanthara's father in Raja Rani, will be essaying the role of her father in this film as well. The genre horror is said to be Ashwin Saravanan's strong point and hence, the film has piqued the curiosity among the audience.
