The makers of the upcoming Tamil film Lover, starring Manikandan in the lead role, released the film's teaser on Sunday. Directed by debutant filmmaker Prabhu Ram Vyas, the upcoming film also stars Modern Love Chennai-fame Gouri Priya Reddy and Kanna Ravi in prominent roles.

The teaser shows Manikandan and Gouri Priya Reddy as college sweethearts. However, as the teaser progresses, we come to know that the couple has broken up. It appears that Gouri's character has left Manikandan for another man, and he is struggling to come to terms with the situation.

Here's the teaser

Speaking with CE in an earlier interview, director Prabhu Ram Vyas said, "Lover will talk about what goes into making a relationship work. It will portray the dynamics in a relationship between a man and a woman."

Vyas has previously helmed the YouTube web series LIVIN, which starred Kanna Ravi and Amrutha Srinivasan in prominent roles. That series too revolves around contemporary live-in relations. On whether Lover is similar to LIVIN, he says, "While LIVIN had a light-hearted take on modern relationships, Lover will be a little more serious with drama and intense emotions involved."

The film's technical crew includes Shreyaas Krishna as the cinematographer, Sean Rolden as the music composer, Barath Vikraman as the editor and Rajkamal as the production designer. 

Million Dollar Studios and M R P Entertainment, who backed Manikandan's hit film Good Night, are also producing Lover.

The upcoming film will hit the theatres on Valentine's Day, 2024.
