Arulnithi reunites with Ganesh Vinayakan for Arulvaan

On the occasion of Pongal on Thursday, the makers of actor Arulnithi's next film unveiled the first-look poster of the film. Titled Arulvaan, the film is helmed by Ganesh Vinayakan and also stars Aarav, Ramya Pandian and Krithika in prominent roles.

The first-look poster features Aarav, Ramya and Krithika as a family from a village, while Arulnithi looks like a well-wishing figure. The film also stars Kaali Venkat in a prominent role. Sharing the poster on X, Arulnithi wrote, "#Arulvaan—a raw, intense tale born from the roots of our land. Proud to bring this story to you."

Ganesh Vinakayan made his directorial debut with Thagaraaru in 2013, which also starred Arulnithi in his fourth outing. He then helmed Veera Sivaji starring Vikram Prabhu in 2016 and a Kannada film titled Hyper in 2018. His latest directorial is the 2021 film Thaen, headlined by Tharun and Abarnathi. Arulvaan marks the director's fifth venture.

Arulvaan is backed by SG Saravanan of 90 Pictures Production Private Limited and co-produced by Subha Saravanan. In the final stages of shooting, the film will feature cinematography by M Sukumar, editing by Lawrence Kishore and music composed by GV Prakash. More details about the film's extended cast, genre and plot are yet to be announced by the makers.

Meanwhile, Arulnithi was last seen in Rambo, which had a direct premiere on Sun NXT. Prior to that, he had the release of Demonte Colony 2, which opened to underwhelming reviews in theatres. Apart from Arulvaan, he also has My Dear Sister with Mamta Mohandas and Demonte Colony 3 in the pipeline.

Aarav was last seen in Ajith Kumar's Vidaamuyarchi in a prominent supporting role. On the other hand, Ramya Pandian's last performance was in Kayilan last year.
