Vijay Sethupathi has signed a film with director Vijay Chandar, who last worked on the Vikram starrer Sketch. Said to be a commercial family entertainer, the film will focus on the life of the people in North Madras, similar to Sketch.
The director told The Indian Express, “North Madras played a key role in my previous film, and so it does in my next film. Usually, North Chennai has a different look from other parts of the city — be it in terms of the place or the people. There’s so much to explore further.”
“I have been working on this script even before the release of Sketch. Sethu anna and I often bounce off ideas. When I approached him with this one, he liked it. He will be get a makeover in this film, with loads of action sequences. Anal Arasu has lot of interesting ideas about presenting the stunt sequences in a never-seen-before way,” he further said about the film.
While the details regarding the remaining cast and crew is a suspense, it has been announced that actor Soori will join the film. This marks his third collaboration with Sethupathi, after Sundarapandiyan and Rummy.
