With a little more than a week left for Tourist Family‘s release, a trailer from the film dropped on Wednesday. The Tourist Family trailer reveals Sasikumar and Simran as parents of two sons, played by Mithun Jai Shankar, and child actor Kamalesh. It also shows that this Tamil speaking Sri Lankan family arrives illegally as refugees to India.

Tourist Family has Sean Roldan for music, Aravind Viswanathan for cinematography, and Barath Vikraman for edits.
Incidentally, Tourist Family releases alongside the Suriya-Pooja Hegde starrer Retro, another Tamil film that also addresses the Sri Lankan refugee plight in parts (Retro writer, director Karthik Subbaraj has previously showcased the plight of Indian-origin Tamil refugees from Sri Lanka in his 2021 movie Jagame Thandhiram).
