A day after announcing the release window of director Mari Selvaraj's upcoming film, Vaazhai, the makers have given an official date for the film's theatrical premiere.
Accordingly, Vaazhai, centred around children, will hit the big screens on August 23.
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.
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.
