Filmmaker Mari Selvaraj's Vaazhai, his upcoming film centred around children, went on floors over a couple of years ago.
The makers of the film announced the first single will be released tomorrow (July 18).
The film stars Kalaiyarasan, Nikhila Vimal, and Priyanka Nair, among others. With this film, Mari Selvaraj is debuting as a producer.
Vaazhai’s technical team includes Theni Eswar as the cinematographer, while Suriya Pradhaman will handle the editing. Santhosh Narayanan, who has worked with Mari in Karnan and Pariyerum Perumal, will compose music for Vaazhai as well.
Though not specifying a date, the film is expected to release in August.
Mari Selvaraj last made Maamannan, which starred Udhayanidhi Stalin, Keerthy Suresh, Vadivelu, and Fahadh Faasil in prominent roles. The director is also working with actors Dhruv Vikram and Anupama Parameswaran on sports-drama Bison Kaalamaadan.
First schedule shoot of the film, that also stars Lal, Pasupathy, Rajisha Vijayan, Hari Krishnan, Azhagam Perumal, and Aruvi Madhanand Kalaiyarasan, was wrapped a few weeks ago.
The film is based on the real-life story of the Arjuna Award-winning Kabaddi player, Manathi Ganesan.
