    Nayanthara's 'Connect': Everything to know about the upcoming horror-thriller

    The makers of "Lady Superstar" Nayanthara's upcoming horror-thriller film Connect unveiled the Hindi trailer recently. By the looks of it, the film will have no dearth of jumpscares and mysteries. The tagline is, "The Devil doesn't leave quietly." It will release in Tamil on December 22 and in Hindi on December 30. Here's everything you need to know about the upcoming movie.

    Clip provided a good look at what to expect

    The 2:22-minute-long trailer reveals that the story will be set against the backdrop of the nationwide lockdown imposed in March 2020. The characters, who are shown connected via video calls, talk about "noises" and "disturbances," possibly caused by a spirit(?). We also see Anupam Kher playing an exorcist, while another woman, perhaps a paranormal expert, tries to develop a "connect" with a deceased spirit.

    'Connect' has been directed by 'Game Over' fame Ashwin Saravanan

    Connect is directed by Ashwin Saravanan, who earned acclaim for the thriller Game Over. It marks the second outing of the actor-director duo as he previously helmed Nayanthara's Maya. Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan are bankrolling the project under their production banner Rowdy Pictures. It's Nayanthara's fifth release of the year. Moreover, Connect is reportedly the first Tamil film to be released without an intermission.

    Who else will we see in the movie?

    Apart from Nayanthara, Connect stars Kher, Sathyaraj, Vinay Rai, and Haniya Nafisa in pivotal roles. Manikantan Krishnamachary is the film's director of photography, Richard Kevin is the editor, and Prithvi Chandrasekhar composed the thriller's music. Earlier in November, the makers released a short teaser of the movie on Nayanthara's 38th birthday, which was received well by both fans and critics.

    Recently, Shivan opened up on the lack of intermission

    During a conversation with India Today, Shivan explained the team's rationale behind no interval. He said, "The story goes in one flow—like a crescendo. It just keeps building up. We have seen this type of momentum in Hollywood films where it builds up and ends only when the film ends. This film has that potential, so I thought why not?"

    Director believes that the horror genre presents emotions beautifully

    In a 2021 interview with Silverscreen India, Saravanan opened up about his inspiration behind making Connect. He explained, "I was feeling stressed and anxious; the times [lockdown] were very uncertain. I wanted to portray those emotions and I realized the only genre that would work was horror. Anxiety, dread, sense of hopelessness and fear—the horror genre lends itself to these emotions beautifully."
