Karthi, Nayanthara,[2] Sri Divya, Vivek are the protagonists in Kaashmora.[3][4] This movie turned out to be a historic-horror-comedy flick (multi genre), directed by Gokul, whose previous movie was Idharkuthane Aasaipattai Balakumara and music is composed by Santhosh Narayanan.[5][6] Kaashmora involves huge VFX work with CG footage amounting to close to 70 mins.[7] Producers confirmed that Kaashmora will be released both in Tamil and Telugu languages for Diwali 2016 (October).[8][9]
