Entertainment Nov 01, 2025

Director Lokesh Kanagaraj is officially making his acting debut in Arun Matheswaran's new film, DC.
The title teaser dropped on Saturday, introducing Kanagaraj as Devdas and Wamiqa Gabbi as Chandra.
The teaser suggests a dark, gritty atmosphere and hints at a gangster drama with mature elements.

Teaser doesn't reveal much about the plot

The teaser keeps things mysterious, focusing on character reveals without spoiling any plot twists.
Anirudh Ravichander handles the music, Mukesh G is behind the camera, and stunt work comes from P C Stunts and Kabilan Chelliah—so expect some slick visuals and action.

Film is currently in production

DC is currently being filmed and should wrap up by January 2026. It's aiming for a summer 2026 theatrical release—a big move for Kanagaraj as he shifts from directing to leading man.
