It was announced today morning that Sivakarthikeyan's Ayalaan, which has been in the making for quite some time, will be hitting the screens for Deepavali. Following that the makers have revealed a short glimpse of the film featuring Sivakarthikeyan fighting in what looks like a spaceship and the much-awaited CGI alien, who will be playing one of the leads. 

Ayalaan has been in the post-production stage since the filming wrapped in early 2021. Slated as a pan- Indian film, Ayalaan is directed by Indru Netru Naalai-fame Ravikumar and bankrolled by 24 AM Studios and KJR Studios.

Billed as a sci-fi film based on Aliens, Ayalaan is said to be heavy on visual effects. A press release from the makers on Sunday mentioned the film has the highest number of CGI shots for a Pan-Indian film, "We did not want to compromise on quality, as it will have the highest number of CGI shots for a Pan-Indian movie and hence we needed the time to achieve perfection". 

The press release further added, "Ayalaan will be the first full-length Live-Action film in Indian Cinema to have over 4500+ VFX shots with the Alien character playing a pivotal role throughout the movie".

Ayalaan, has Rakul Preet playing the female lead. Apart from Sivakarthikeyan and Rakul, the film also features Isha Koppikar in a major role. Ayalaan has music by AR Rahman, cinematography by Nirav Shah, and stunts by Anbariv.
