The wait is finally over! Aghathiyaa, the much-anticipated fantasy-horror thriller directed by Pa. Vijay, has arrived on the big screens with a massive pan-India release. Backed by Vels Film International Ltd. and WAMINDIA, this cinematic spectacle has taken Tamil cinema to new heights, captivating audiences across 600+ screens nationwide in three languages-an unprecedented milestone for a medium-budget Tamil film. This marks the widest pan-India release in the history of Tamil cinema for a film of its scale, reaching audiences in all major states.

Blending myth, horror, and fantasy, Aghathiyaa delivers an edge-of-the-seat thriller filled with breathtaking CGI, spine-chilling moments, and a compelling narrative.

Featuring a stellar ensemble cast, the film showcases some of the biggest names in the industry. Jiiva, known for his performances in Ko and Gorilla, leads the film, supported by Action King Arjun Sarja, who brings his legendary screen presence to the gripping storyline. Raashii Khanna, celebrated for her roles in Thiruchitrambalam and Madras Café, adds depth and intrigue to the narrative. The film also features Yogi Babu, whose impeccable comic timing enhances the experience, alongside Edward Sonnenblick, best known for his performances in RRR and Inside Edge.

With music composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja, cinematography helmed by Dipak Kumar Padhy, and editing crafted by San Lokesh, Aghathiyaa stands as a technical masterpiece that seamlessly combines breathtaking visuals with an engaging storyline. Every aspect of the film has been meticulously crafted to offer a larger-than-life cinematic experience, making it a must-watch for fantasy- horror thriller enthusiasts.

Adding to the enthusiasm, Aneesh Arjun Dev, Founder & Managing Director, WAM India, shared, “Aghathiyaa is a passion project that showcases the power of storytelling when combined with cutting-edge technology.
