Back in August we reported that actor Arulnithi and director and actor Ameer are set to share the screen in Vetta Saami. On Friday, the film's makers announced a release window. The film is written and directed by M Selvakumar, who has previously directed the 2023 film Bumper.
Back in August, the makers unveiled the first title glimpse of the film. It introduced us to a village temple festival with devotees gathered for prayer amidst festivities and singing. We then saw Arulnithi in a fierce avatar, dressed as Karuppusamy, following which we saw Ameer as a devout person, carrying out the rituals of the festival. The first glimpse promises another thrilling divine experience, like Suriya's Karuppu.
Vetta Saami is scheduled to open in theatres in December. A release date is yet to be fixed. The film also stars Aadukalam Naren, Madhusudhan Rao, Hareesh Peradi, Viji Chandrasekar, Indumathi Manikandan, Mynaa Nandhini, director Tamizh, Kavitha Bharathi, Sathish Kannan, Ayaz Khan, Murali Abbas, Aaru Bala, TSK, OAK Sundar, Arjai, Nandhini, Seranraj, Jegan Kaviraj, Feroz, Dhanush Karthik, Sanjay, and Jashik, among others.
The crew of the film includes composer Ghibran, director of photography RD Rajasekar, and editor Ruben. Samuel Mathew is producing the upcoming film under his 7 Miles Per Second Productions banner. The upcoming film will be the banner's second production after the Siddharth-starrer Miss You (2024).
Arulnithi was last seen in Arulvaan, which was released in theatres in July 2026. The actor also has Ajay Gnanamuthu's Demonte Colony 3, which is set to release on September 10, in the pipeline. Meanwhile, Ameer's latest release was the 2025 sports drama Bison Kaalamaadan, which was written and directed by Mari Selvaraj. He is also working on Maakali backed by Mari Selvaraj.
