The makers of Arjun Das and Aditi Shankar's upcoming film, Once More, unveiled the second single from the film titled 'Idhayam'. Composed by Hesham Abdul Wahab, the song features Arjun and Aditi's characters falling in love. The lyrics, penned by the director of the film, Vignesh Srikanth, give the essence of a man being mesmerised by his beloved. The melody is rendered by actor and director Vineeth Sreenivasan.
Touted as a romantic film infused with elements of a light-hearted family drama, the upcoming project is produced by Yuvaraj Ganesan of Million Dollar Studios, known for films like Good Night and Lover, with VR Vamsi of FYNTEMAX serving as co-producer.
Notably, Once More shares its title with Vijay’s 1997 classic that featured Sivaji Ganesan, Simran, Saroja Devi, and Manivannan in lead roles, directed by Vijay's father, the veteran filmmaker and actor SA Chandrasekhar.
In a prior conversation with CE, director Vignesh revealed, “The film explores the journey of Arjun and Aditi as they fall in love. Their characters have contrasting personalities, and even their families and friends are starkly different. The story revolves around what happens when these two distinct worlds come together.”
On the technical side, Once More marks the Tamil debut of Hesham Abdul Wahab, celebrated for his hit compositions in Malayalam and Telugu cinema. The film’s visuals are captured by Aravind Viswanathan, with editing by Nash, costume design by Navadevi Rajkumar, and art direction by Raj Kamal.
Once More is scheduled to release in theatres for Valentine's Day, 2025.
