    Indian cinema is all set to make waves with its first-ever sea horror adventure fantasy film titled Kingston.

    The ambitious project, which went on floors in 2023, is spearheaded by the multi-talented GV Prakash Kumar, and actor Divya Bharathi.

    Written and directed by Kamal Prakash, the film is slated for a worldwide release in March across Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi languages.

    The film's first look is set to be unveiled on Monday evening by Sivakarthikeyan.
