Release of G V Prakash horror film ‘Immortal’

Overview

The horror thriller ‘Immortal’, directed by Mariyappan Chinna and starring G V Prakash Kumar and Kayadu Lohar, has been cleared for release by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) with a ‘U’ certificate.

Following the certification announcement, actor and producer Dhanush released the film’s trailer. The trailer suggests a narrative involving a tribal couple in a foreign land that transitions to India, focusing on a character named Mahi who moves into a room with Sindhu. The plot involves supernatural occurrences within a flat.

G V Prakash has since described the film as a ‘fantasy mystery survival thriller’ centered on a vampire story, a genre he noted is relatively new to Tamil cinema. The narrative follows a man who has lived for 4,000 years, spanning prehistoric times, tribal life, and the present day.

Production for the movie was reportedly completed in May 2026, following an initial intention by makers to release the project earlier in the year. The production involved a two-year timeline, including one year of shooting and one year dedicated to computer-generated imagery (CG) work. To meet international standards, the CG work is being handled by top firms in Canada. The film was scheduled for theatrical release on September 4, 2026.

Upon its release, reviews noted that the film connects a prehistoric tribal event involving the birth of a mysterious creature to a modern-day mystery. In the contemporary timeline, G V Prakash Kumar’s character moves into a luxury apartment shared with Sindhu, played by Kayadu Lohar. While the film includes romantic elements, it shifts into a survival thriller as supernatural mysteries emerge. Critics highlighted G V Prakash Kumar’s relatable performance and Lohar’s portrayal of a character with a ‘dual nature’, though some noted pacing issues in the first half and artificiality in certain action sequences.
