Sarpatta Parambarai, the upcoming Tamil film starring Arya and directed by Pa Ranjith, wrapped up shooting on Tuesday. The film will release in theatres in early 2021.
Speaking to Silverscreen India, the film’s publicity manager Guna said, “The complete shooting of the film has taken place in Chennai and was completed yesterday (Tuesday). We are planning to release the film in theatres in January or February, next year.”
The story revolves around the boxing culture in north Chennai during the 1970-80s, he said and added that the film will show a different slice of Chennai and its people during the time it is set in.
“Actor Pasupathy has acted in a prominent role,” added Guna.
A first look poster of the film, featuring Arya as a boxer, was unveiled by the makers on social media on Wednesday.
The film marks the director’s first collaboration with Arya. Sharing the film’s poster on Twitter, Ranjith wrote: “Opportunities are made not available very often. This is our game and the opponent should feel the heat.”
