Arun Prabu's Vaazhl to premiere on Sony LIV

It's been more than a year since Vaazh, directed by Arun Prabu Purushothaman, wrapped up its shoot. However, owing to the pandemic and the subsequent shutdown of theatres, there was no clarity about when the film will release. Now, the latest is that the film will skip theatrical release and premiere on the OTT platform Sony LIV. Though a date hasn't been officially announced yet, there are speculations that the film will premiere on July 16.

Vaazhl is director Arun's second film after the critically-acclaimed Aruvi. Though there are no details about the plot of the film, in an earlier chat with Cinema Express, Arun had stated that the story will revolve around the dynamics between several important characters - all played by newcomers.

Jointly produced by Kalai Arasu and actor-producer Sivakarthikeyan, the film will predominantly feature newcomers. Vaazhl has music by Pradeep Kumar and cinematography by Shelley. Interestingly, Vaazhl was supposed to be Arun Prabhu's first film, however, it got delayed due to several reasons.

Vaazhl is Sivakarthikeyan’s third production after Kanaa and Nenjamundu Nermaiyundu Odu Raja.
