A day after the project was announced, the makers of Soori's next Mandaadi, helmed by Mathimaaran Pugazhendhi, dropped the first-look posters from the film on Saturday.

While it was first believed the film could be on the life and struggles of fishermen, the posters hint at a film based on a water sport peculiar to coastal Tamil Nadu.

The film is produced by Elred Kumar of RS Infotainment, which had bankrolled the Vijay Sethupathi-Soori starrer Viduthalai films by filmmaker Vetrimaaran.

Mathimaaran, who worked on Selfie in 2022, served as an assistant director to Vetrimaaran, who has joined Mandaadi as the creative producer.

Apart from Soori, the film has Mahima Nambiar playing the female lead, with actors Sathyaraj, Achyuth Kumar, Sachana Namidass, and Ravindra Vijay in central roles.

The film's technical crew comprises music composer GV Prakash, cinematographer SR Kathir, editor Pradeep E Ragav and stunt choreographer Peter Hein.

Other important details regarding the plot, commencement of production, and release date are yet to be made.
