Actor Vetri, who was last seen in Pagalariyaan and Adharma Kadhaigal, has director Siva R's Aalan as his next.

The makers of Aalan have announced that the film will get a theatrical release on October 18.

Aalan is written and directed by Siva R. In an earlier conversation with CE, the director said, "Aalan will be a love story told through the lens of spirituality and literature. Of late, we have been seeing a lot of violence onscreen in Tamil cinema, and amid this, we wanted to tell a love story. The film will show the life of a boy since he was 15 to the age of 40. As he aspires to be a writer, a path suddenly pushes him into spirituality. Does love change him or not is the story.” The director has previously directed Karotiyin Kadhali.

Aalan will also feature German-origin actor Madhura. The supporting cast of the film includes Aruvi Madhankumar, Anusithara, Lal, Vivek Prasanna, and Karunakaran, among others. The film has been shot in locations like Rishikesh, Kasi, Kodaikanal, Puducherry, and Chennai.

Aalan has cinematography by Vindhan Stalin, music by Manoj Krishna and editing by Mu Kasi Viswanathan. Siva R is also producing the film under 3S Pictures. A release date for the film is yet to be announced.
