Soori teams up with ‘Ayalaan’ director for his next; Mythri Movie Makers to produce

Tamil actor Soori has teamed up with director R Ravikumar (Of Indru Netru Naalai and Ayalaan fame) for his upcoming film, tentatively called Soori 07. The film is produced by Y Ravi Shankar and Naveen Yerneni of Mythri Movie Makers.

Soori shared a special poster to announce the news. It features a man holding an aruvamanai (a traditional South Indian kitchen tool used for cutting vegetables) and standing inside a flooded house.

A calendar in the background hints that the film might be set during the 2015 South India floods, which caused a lot of devastation in Chennai and neighbouring districts. “Blood followed the flood” is written as the tagline on the poster.

Soori, having successfully transitioned from a comedian to a hero, has been in great form following the success of Viduthalai, Kottukkaali, and Maaman. The actor also has Mandaadi, directed by Mathimaran Pugazhendhi, currently in production. Ravikumar, on the other hand, is known for his sci-fi films, such as the time-machine film Indru Netru Naalai and Ayalaan, the Sivakarthikeyan-starrer that revolved around the titular alien.
