The court’s directive comes after years of uncertainty for Dhruva Natchathiram, which faced multiple delays since it went on floors.

He must also initiate discussions with theatre owners and distributors to finalise the release plan.While an official release date is yet to be confirmed, the court’s order marks a significant step forward for Dhruva Natchathiram.
