Distributors offer help to Menon
To guarantee a hassle-free release for Dhruva Natchathiram, some distribution partners have reportedly offered to assist Menon with the required sum.
However, the director is reportedly dissatisfied with their conditions. Menon has been working non-stop to ensure the film gets released on the scheduled date, managing promotions, interviews, and publicity single-handedly.

Dhruva Natchathiram is Menon's passion project, a spy action flick that follows a secret agent group called The Basement, led by Vikram's character John.

In a recent interview, Menon disclosed that he intentionally left several loose ends in the movie to be addressed in sequels but made sure it did not feel disjointed.
