Actor Arun Vijay, whose Vanangaan is under post-production, will pair up with director Thirukumaran for his 36th film.

Arun Vijay 36 was formally launched with a pooja on Thursday in Chennai.

Thirukumaran, who made Sivakarthikeyan's Maan Karate and Udhayanidhi Stalin's Gethu, said the film will be a turning point for Arun Vijay just like how Maan Karate was for SK. The film is billed as an action thriller.
