In April, it was announced that Vijay Antony will team up with Moodar Koodam director Naveen Kumar for an action thriller project in T Siva’s production. On Wednesday, it was announced that the film will also star Arun Vijay as one of the leads. Shalini Pandey has been signed as the leading lady.

The supporting cast includes Nassar, Jagapathi Babu and Prakash Raj. Naveen took to Twitter to make the announcement and also added that the regular shooting will commence soon.

The film’s first look will be revealed on Thursday. The rest of the cast and crew is yet to be announced. Naveen also confirmed that he has wrapped up his second project Alaudhinin Arputha Camera, and the film is believed to be a fantasy adventure thriller.

Speaking about the project, Naveen had said: “We’ve completed the shooting and the film is in its post-production stage right now. We shot the film in Switzerland, Italy, and Croatia’s Dalmatian coast, Germany, Ukraine and Slovenia. The first look poster will be released soon.”

This is Naveen’s third directorial. His second film Kolanji, featuring Samuthirakani and Sanghavi in the lead is yet to find a theatrical release. Meanwhile, both Arun Vijay and Vijay Antony are waiting for the release of their respective films. While Arun’s Thadam is currently in post-production, Antony’s Thimiru Pudichavan, in which he has donned khaki for the first time in his career, has been postponed from its original Deepavali release date. The project, directed by Ganesha, a former associate of S.S Rajamouli, went on the floors in February. Antony learned silambam, the ancient stick-based martial arts popular in Tamil Nadu, to essay his part and he has used this skill in some action sequences in the film.
