Vetrimaaran’s film with Soori all set to go on floors!

Last year, ace filmmaker Vetrimaaran had earlier announced that he would making a film with actor Soori in the lead. The project was supposed to kick-start in the first half of this year. But due to the pandemic, all plans had to be put on hold. Initially, Vetrimaaran had planned to make a movie based on late lyricist Na Muthukumar’s poem ‘Pattampoochi Virpavan’. However, things didn’t work out and he instead decided to adapt Meeran Moideen’s ‘Ajnabi’ into a feature film. Since its storyline is set in Dubai and due to the pandemic-induced restrictions, the makers had to drop that idea.

Finally, Vetrimaaran has confirmed that his next film with Soori will be based on the short story ‘Thunaivan’ written by Jeyamohan. The story was first published in the magazine, Ananda Vikatan in 1992. Jeyamohan has previously collaborated with various top directors in Tamil and Malayalam. He was recently associated with some biggies like ‘Papanasam’, ‘2.0’, ‘Sarkar’, ‘Indian 2’, ‘Ponniyin Selvan’ etc. ‘Thunaivan’ marks his first time union with Vetrimaaran.

Shoot is scheduled to start on December 8 in Sathyamangalam. Along with Soori, veteran filmmaker Bharathiraja will also be seen in an important role.
