Asuran which hit screens last year in October earned love both from the critics and audiences, with the film makers marking the film’s success with a success party.
The revenge-drama set against the backdrop of casteism was based on writer Poomani’s Vekkai.
While the cast of Naarappa is yet to be announced, Mani Sharma will be composing music, Shyam K Naidu will handle cinematography, and Marthand K Venkatesh will edit. Peter Hein has been roped in for stunts. Vetrimaaran will also be working on the project with the crew.
Vetrimaaran won the ‘Best Director’ award for Asuran at the Ananda Vikatan Awards 2019 and Zee Cine Awards Tamil 2020.
