Soori's Film With Mythri Movie Makers Announced
The film will mark Mythri Movie Makers' third Tamil production, and will be directed by R Ravikumar.
Tamil actor Soori's next film will be a collaboration with Production house Mythri Movie Makers. The film will be directed by R Ravikumar, who made Ayalaan.
Naveen Yerneni and Y Ravi Shankar will produce the film. The announcement arrived with an intense poster, in which the protagonist is in the middle of a trail of wreckage- shattered utensils, scattered debris, and an overturned gas cylinder, capturing the raw aftermath of destruction. A dim red glow pouring through a doorway ahead casts an ominous silhouette, heightening the mood of dread. The text "Blood followed the flood” is also mentioned on the poster.
Soori was last seen in Tamil films such as Kottukkaali, Viduthalai, Maaman, and more. Meanwhile, Mythri Movie Makers has previously ventured into Tamil with films such as Good Bad Ugly starring Ajith and Dude starring Pradeep Ranganathan.
Soori will next be seen in Mandaadi, a Tamil film with Suhas. Makers of the film dropped the Telugu poster of the upcoming sports drama. Directed by Mathimaran Pugazhenthi, the film will be released in Tamil and Telugu. The poster showcases Suhas and Soori amid a thrilling catamaran racing showdown, a form of maritime sport that finds its roots in Tamil culture.
Reports initially suggested that the Tamil version of Mandaadi will feature Soori as the lead and Suhas as the antagonist, with the Telugu film flipping the casting for the two roles. But Suhas recently clarified on X that he would be playing the antagonist in both films.
"Jallikattu happens on land, but boat racing happens at sea," Soori said at the film’s launch event, adding that the film speaks about the bravery of the Tamil fishing communities who indulge in this sport. Tamil filmmaker Vetri Maaran will serve as the executive producer on the film, which will be produced by Elred Kumar’s RS Infotainment banner.
