Actor-politician Vijay wished the team of the upcoming film Alangu, directed by SP Shakthivel, ahead of its theatrical release on December 27.

Vijay gifted the director a copy of self-help author Napoleon Hill's Success Habits: Proven Principles for Greater Wealth, Health and Happiness, in which he wrote his wishes.

Posting about the same on his X handle, Shakthivel announced that the special release glimpse of Alangu will be out on Wednesday.

It is worth mentioning that the film's trailer was launched by Rajinikanth. The trailer is suggestive of Tamil labourers working in Kerala, where they run-in with the plantation owners. With a dog also playing a major role in the film, it is expected to spark the conflict.

Alangu stars Gunanidhi in the lead, while Chemban Vinod, Kaali Venkat, Appani Sarath and Sreerekha are cast in supporting roles.

Shakthivel is well-known for writing and directing films such as Urumeen (2015) and Payanigal Gavanikkavum (2022). He was associated with Manikandan's Good Night (2023) as the film's creative producer.

Producers of Alangu comprise D Sabareesh and SA Sangamithra, who earlier collaborated on the GV Prakash-Gautham Menon film Selfie.

Alangu is shot in the forest locations of Attapadi, Idukki, Anaikatti, Kambam, and Theni. It has cinematography by S Pandikumar, music by Ajesh, and editing by San Lokesh.
