Sun Pictures Wraps DC Shoot Lokesh Kanagaraj and Wamiqa Gabbi Lead Gritty Romance Drama Set for 2026 Release

Tamil cinema just got another major update as Sun Pictures officially announced the wrap of principal photography for its upcoming film DC. The production house shared celebratory behind-the-scenes images from the set, including a traditional cake-cutting moment, confirming that filming has been completed and the project is now moving into post-production.

The film, titled DC (reportedly short for Devadas and Chandra), brings together an unexpected and exciting pairing—director turned actor Lokesh Kanagaraj in his acting debut as Devadas, alongside Wamiqa Gabbi as Chandra. Interestingly, the project is directed by Arun Matheswaran, known for his raw and stylized storytelling, which suggests that this will not be a typical romance but something far more intense and layered.

What makes DC particularly intriguing is its genre blend. Positioned as a romantic action drama, the film is expected to balance emotional storytelling with gritty, high-impact action sequences. Early hints from the production suggest a tone that mixes romance with danger, often compared in spirit to classic “runaway lovers” narratives like Bonnie and Clyde, but rooted in a distinctly Tamil cinematic style.

The music for the film is composed by Anirudh Ravichander, whose recent work in action and mass entertainers has made him one of the most sought-after names in the industry. His involvement is expected to add significant energy and emotional depth to the film, especially during key romantic and action sequences.

With cinematography, stunts, and production design handled by a strong technical team, DC is being positioned as a visually rich theatrical experience. The film is produced under Sun Pictures, led by Kalanithi Maran, a banner known for backing large-scale commercial entertainers with strong star power and high production values.

One of the most talked-about aspects of the project is Lokesh Kanagaraj stepping in front of the camera. Known widely for directing blockbuster films, his acting debut adds an unexpected twist to the project and has already generated curiosity among fans. Paired with Wamiqa Gabbi’s rising popularity across industries, the casting brings together two very different cinematic worlds.

With filming now officially wrapped and a release expected in 2026, DC is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated Tamil films on the horizon. A mix of romance, action, and stylistic storytelling, the project promises to showcase a fresh on-screen dynamic while marking a bold new chapter for Lokesh Kanagaraj as an actor.
