Filmmaker Selvaraghavan on Monday announced that his movie Nenjam Marappathillai will finally release in theatres on March 5.

“I believed in one thing that god has a right plan for this movie. thank you god, my mom, my dad…. (sic),” tweeted S J Suryah reacting to the news.

For some unknown reasons, Nenjam Marappathillai remained in cold storage for nearly half a deacde. So much so that the everyone associated with the film moved on with their careers and made other movies, almost removing Nenjam Marappathillai from public memory.

True to its title, which means heart never forgets, the film remained in the minds of movie buffs and fans of Selvaraghavan, thanks to multiple trailers released by the makers earlier.
