Mumbai: Colors Tamil is set to telecast the world television premiere of "Ulkuthu" on 20 March at 5 p.m.

Directed by Caarthick Raju, the film features actors Dinesh and Nandita Swetha in lead roles. It also stars Chaya Singh, actor-stunt choreographer Dhilip Subbarayan, Sharath Lohitashwa, and John Vijay in supporting roles.

“Considering the effort we put into the film, I am thrilled that its television premiere is on Colors Tamil and would reach vast audiences,” said director Caarthick Raju. “The film brings two genres, revenge and comedy, together. It was not easy but I am glad that all the pieces fit into the puzzle.”

Set in a serene coastal town, "Ulkuthu" revolves around Raja who is in pursuit of two feared loan sharks – Kaka Mani and his son Saravanan – to avenge the death of his sister. During his quest, he befriends Sura Shankar in the fishing hamlet, who wants him to marry his sister Kadalarasi. Things take a turn for the worse when Raja ends up hitting and humiliating Saravanan.

“The film gave me a new look altogether, with the character being unique compared to my previous roles,” said actor Dinesh. “I loved playing the mass-hero who has several grey shades and hidden agendas up his sleeves. With the film premiering on a prominent channel like Colors Tamil, I am confident that the audiences will be at the edge of their seats while having a good laugh with their families.”
