Telugu actor Suhas, whose first look in director Mathimaran Pugazhendi's upcoming Tamil film, Mandaadi, was released recently, has now clarified that he will only be playing the antagonist in the film and that actor Soori was the only protagonist of the film.
On Monday, the team of Mandaadi released the first look poster of actor Suhas in the film. Interestingly, the first look poster of actor Suhas was also the first look poster of the Telugu version of the film. Taking to its X timeline to release the poster, RS Infotainment, the production house producing the film, wrote, "All it needs is a Tsumani to wake your fighting spirits up. Here's the terrific Telugu First Look of the film Mandaadi. Soori and Suhas are all set to Ride & Rule the Sea." Responding to this tweet, Actor Suhas wrote,"Here is the first look of Mandaadi. Can't wait to ride and rule the sea with Soori anna."
However, soon after the announcement some posts that were put out on social media gave the impression that both Suhas and Soori were the protagonists of the film. To rule out any confusion, actor Suhas on Tuesday took to his timeline on X and put out a clarification. He wrote, "Hello. This is a small clarification on my upcoming Tamil film Mandaadi, which will also have a Telugu release. Unlike all the speculated rumours, I'll be playing only the Antagonist and Soori anna will be the Protagonist."
Actor Mahima Nambiar, best known for her performances in Tamil films like Asuraguru, Magamuni and Sri Lankan cricketer Muthaiah Muralidharan's biopic, 800, plays the female lead in Mandaadi which will also feature actor Sathyaraj in a pivotal role in the film. Sachana Namidass, Ravindra Vijay and popular Kannada actor Achyuth Kumar are also part of the cast.
The film's technical crew comprises music composer GV Prakash, cinematographer SR Kathir, editor Pradeep E Ragav and stunt choreographer Peter Hein. It is produced by Elred Kumar of RS Infotainment, which had bankrolled the Vijay Sethupathi-Soori starrer Viduthalai films by filmmaker Vetrimaaran.
Other important details regarding the plot, commencement of production, and release date are yet to be made.
