‘Vilangu’ director Prasanth Pandiyaraj is set to collaborate with Soori on a family drama. The filmmaker shared that the story is "based on a true incident that happened to a family I know."
Prasanth Pandiyaraj notes that Soori, like many, anticipated his next project would be similar to ‘Vilangu’, an investigative thriller. "He appreciated that the story I presented was different from what he expected. Soori doesn't want to be typecast in serious roles, and I don't want to be known for only making serious films," Prasanth reveals.
“The script is nearly complete, and we plan to start filming in December or January. It will be a commercial film focusing on family emotions and disputes,” he adds. He elaborates, “The story is familiar, but our unique perspective gives it a fresh take. While family dramas aren't new, our approach sets it apart.”
Prasanth, who is also writing the second season of ‘Vilangu’, acknowledges the pressure of working with Soori given his current success in the industry. “Soori’s recent films, including ‘Viduthalai’, have been both commercially successful and performance-driven. With his strong track record, I feel a great responsibility in making this film with him,” he concludes.
