The makers of Mari Selvaraj's next directorial, Vaazhai, released the second single, 'Oru Oorula Raja', on Monday.
The slow number's making video is similar to that of 'Kanda Vara Sollunga' from the director's Karnan, starring Dhanush.
'Oru Oorula Raja', composed and sung by Santhosh Narayanan and written by Mari Selvaraj, takes the perspective of one Raja (we don't know who) who sings the troubles and travails thrown at him.
Earlier, the makers had released 'Thenkizhakku', the first single, which was sung by Dhee with lyrics written by Yugabharathi.
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.
The first schedule shoot of the film, which 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.
Vaazhai is scheduled to be released in theatres on August 23.
