Tamil family entertainer Con City is picking up pace, with the makers announcing that updates for the film will roll out soon. The latest development confirms that audio rights for Con City have been acquired by T-Series, and music composer Sean Roldan is scoring what promises to be a lively soundtrack. The film stars Arjun Das, Anna Ben, and Yogi Babu, and is produced by Powerhouse Pictures in association with Maali and Maanvi and Klout Studios.
What Is Con City About?
Con City is described as a heartwarming family entertainer that blends humour, emotion, and middle-class relatability. While a detailed plot has not been officially revealed, the first-look poster released in January 2026 offers strong visual cues about the film’s world. It shows Arjun Das with an office backpack and Anna Ben clutching a handbag, while Yogi Babu and veteran actress Vadivukkarasi lug travel bags alongside a child artiste seated on a wheelchair holding a gleaming trophy. The image suggests a story built around a family on the move, possibly caught up in a scheme or adventure that plays out across cities.
The title itself — Con City — hints at deception, capers, and possibly a sting-style narrative at its core, even as the family entertainer tag keeps the tone accessible to all audiences. Director Harish Durairaj, who makes his feature directorial debut with this film, has reportedly shaped a script that balances broad comedy with genuine emotional beats. The film was shot extensively across Mangalore, Chennai, and Mumbai, and will release in Tamil and Telugu simultaneously.
Who Stars in Con City?
Arjun Das leads the cast in what marks a significant genre shift for the actor. Known primarily for his intense antagonist roles in Lokesh Kanagaraj‘s films — including Kaithi (2019), Master (2021), and Vikram (2022) — Arjun Das built his reputation on menacing screen presence and a deep, distinctive voice. Con City casts him in unfamiliar territory as part of a family-oriented entertainer, a move that could significantly broaden his audience reach beyond action cinema circles.
Opposite him is Anna Ben, the Malayalam actress who broke through with Charlie (2015) and went on to headline Kappela (2020), one of the most acclaimed Malayalam films of that year. She also starred in the Tamil film Viruman (2022) alongside Karthi. Anna Ben’s natural screen warmth and proven comic timing make her an ideal fit for the tone Con City appears to be going for. Yogi Babu, one of Tamil cinema’s most reliable comedy performers, rounds out the central trio, while Vadivukkarasi adds gravitas to the ensemble as the family’s elder figure. The first look was unveiled by director Lokesh Kanagaraj in January 2026, lending considerable visibility to the announcement.
Who Is Making Con City and What About the Music?
Con City is produced by Powerhouse Pictures in association with Maali and Maanvi and Klout Studios. Cinematography is handled by Aravind Viswanathan, who brings visual consistency to the film’s multi-city shoot across Mangalore, Chennai, and Mumbai.
The music department is in capable hands with Sean Roldan composing the score. Roldan has established himself as one of Tamil cinema’s more versatile composers, known for his work on Joker (2016), Irudhi Suttru (2016), and Kanaa (2018). He has a demonstrated ability to craft music that serves both comedy and emotional drama equally well, making him a fitting choice for a film that appears to blend both. T-Series locking in the audio rights signals strong commercial confidence in the soundtrack, with the label typically backing projects with wide audience potential.

When Is Con City Releasing in Theatres?
No official release date has been announced for Con City as of March 2026. As of the title and first-look reveal in January 2026, the production unit had completed approximately 80 percent of the shoot. With filming largely wrapped and T-Series now on board for audio, the promotional machinery appears to be gearing up in earnest, with the makers confirming that updates will begin rolling out shortly.
Given the production timeline, a mid to late 2026 theatrical release in Tamil and Telugu appears likely. OTT rights and streaming platform details have not been disclosed. Audiences can follow Powerhouse Pictures and the official Con City social handles for the next round of announcements, which are expected to include a teaser or trailer in the coming weeks.
