Vetrimaaran’s film with Soori, Vijay Sethupathi titled Viduthalai

Filmmaker Vetrimaaran’s upcoming Tamil film starring Soori and Vijay Sethupathi has been titled Viduthalai, it was announced Thursday. Along with the title, the first-look posters were also unveiled. 

Going by the posters, it can be understood that Soori plays a cop while Vijay Sethupathi is seen as someone in handcuffs. 

The project marks Vetrimaaran's maiden collaboration with both Soori and Vijay Sethupathi. 

It is believed that the film is based on a novel called Ajnabee. The film will also feature veteran filmmaker Bharathiraja. 

In a recent media interaction, Soori said that he had agreed to be a part of the project after hearing just one line of the plot from Vetrimaaran. “It’s every actor’s dream to work with Vetri sir. When he called and told me he has this story which he’d like to make with me, I didn’t even think for a minute before giving my nod.” 

Soori didn’t divulge any details regarding the film but confirmed that he would be seen as a very different character.

It’s after completing work on this project, Vetrimaaran will begin shooting for his next project with Suriya, Vaadivasal, which is centred on the sport of jallikattu.
