Zee5 bags the digital rights of Sundar C's horror-comedy flick Aranmanai 3

Sundar C's horror-comedy flick Aranmanai 3, which features a bevy of artists, will hit the screens on October 14 as a Dussehra release. With two other films, Thalli Pogathey and Rajavamsam opting out of the festival release, all eyes are now on this Arya-starrer which is expected to open big at the box office. 

The makers had released its fifth single, Theeyaga Thondri, crooned by Hariharan and Shankar Mahadevan, on Tuesday evening. Composed by C Sathya, the track has lyrics penned by Naattu Raja Durai. The song, which is quite different from the other four tracks, is a treat for music buffs as it brought together the two legends.           

It was reported earlier that actor-politician Udhayanidhi Stalin's Red Giant Movies had acquired the movie's theatrical rights. We have now learnt that the film's satellite rights have been acquired by Kalaignar TV while the digital rights have been bagged by Zee5. Aranmanai, the first film in the franchise, is available on MX Player and its sequel, Aranmanai 2, is streaming on MX Player, Sun NXT and Jio Cinema. 

Aranmanai 3 is riding on huge expectations, thanks to the success of the first two installments in the popular franchise. Raashi Khanna plays the female lead in the movie which has Vivekh, Andrea Jeremiah, Kovai Sarala, Yogi Babu, Manobala, Sampath, Vela Ramamoorthy and Sakshi Agarwal essaying key roles.  

At a press meet held recently, Sundar C recollected working with the legendary comedian Vivekh who passed away earlier this year. During his speech, he got emotional while talking about the latter and said that he had never expected that the film would be the last project of the veteran actor. The director-actor had teamed up for a few projects earlier, too. Vivekh's expressions and one-liners in the movie's promos which were recently released had gone viral on social media.
