Chasing is a 2021 Indian Tamil-language action crime film written and directed by Veerakumar on his directorial debut. The film features Varalaxmi Sarathkumar in the lead role.[1] The film had a theatrical release on 16 April 2021. It received negative reviews.[2]
Athira (Varalaxmi Sarathkumar) is seen chasing goons and drug peddlers in different locations. The film opens with the kidnapping of a girl who gets rescued by Athira in a few minutes, followed by an investigation.
Principal photography of the film began during April 2019 in Malacca, Malaysia.[3] A first look poster for the film was released to mark Tamil New Year 2019.[4] For the film, Varalaxmi filmed seven separate action scenes.[5]
A theatrical trailer of the film was released in November 2020 by director Bharathiraja.[6]
The film had a theatrical release on 16 April 2021. A reviewer from Cinema Express wrote Chasing is "an awful, loud cop film with not a shred of logic" and that "with writing that's all over the place, the film fails in every possible way".[7] A reviewer from Times of India noted "the film, which lacks thrills, adequate character detailing and engaging narration, is a forgettable snooze fest".[8]
