Producer KE Gnanavel Raja of Studio Green earlier was quite upbeat about Thangalaan . "Thangalaan is a world cinema. We want to dub it into a maximum number of languages. We have tied up with Netflix. We wanted to give it a wider reach," he said earlier. 

Thangalaan has already generated buzz due to Vikram's distinctive appearance. Set in colonial India, the movie is a period drama with Vikram portraying a tribal man. According to director Pa Ranjith , Thangalaan will be an "enjoyable and entertaining film" that will appeal to viewers.

Besides Vikram, Thangalaan also stars Parvathy Thiruvothu, Malavika Mohanan and Harikrishnan.
