Productionedit
In mid-2019, Rambhala announced his intentions of making a third part to his Dhilluku Dhuddu film series featuring Santhanam in the lead role and was referred to as Dhilluku Dhuddu 3 during production. The film was reported to be shot in 3D and expected to be produced by Chowdhary of 18 Reels Entertainment.[2][3] Following a period of stagnation, Rambhala's assistant Prem Anand took over as the project director in early 2022, following creative differences between the director and Santhanam.[4] The film subsequently marked the second project of Prem Anand, who had earlier worked with Santhanam on the comedy series Lollu Sabha and had co-directed the film Inimey Ippadithan (2015).[5]
Actresses Surbhi and Masoom Shankar joined the film's shoot, as did Pradeep Rawat, with scenes shot across Chennai and Pondicherry.[6] Production on the untitled film took place throughout 2022, with the project completed by December 2022.[7] The title of the film was publicly revealed as DD Returns in April 2023.[8]
Musicedit
The film's music is composed by OfRo in his maiden collaboration with Santhanam and Prem.[9][10]
DD Returns was released theatrically on 28 July 2023.[11]
Home videoedit
The streaming rights of the film were acquired by ZEE5 and the film had its worldwide streaming release on 1 September 2023.[12][13]
Receptionedit
