We had earlier reported that Yogi Babu and Lakshmi Menon's upcoming film Malai is all set for release in September. D Imman, who is composing music for the film took to his social media handles to announce that the first single from Malai titled 'Kannasara Aaraaro' will be out on August 28.

While a release date is yet to be revealed, the film is expected to revolve around the conflict between nature and humans. According to the makers, the story is about how nature responds to human selfishness.

In an earlier conversation with CE, debut director IP Murugesh, who worked as an assistant director to Suseenthiran and Seenu Ramasamy, said, "It's a film about a young doctor who is accustomed to the city lifestyle but has to visit a village. What happens when she meets a fake village doctor and both end up having conflicts over various issues form the rest of the story. Malai is a social drama that deals with human emotions and how people have preconceived notions about certain topics they aren't accustomed to."

Kaali Venkat will be playing an important role in Malai, which also stars Singam Puli and Ramachandran. The film has been shot predominantly in and around Theni.

Produced by R Ganesh Moorthy Soundarya of Lemon Leaf Creation P LTD, Malai will have music by D Imman and cinematography by Theni Eswar.
