Actor and director Samuthirakani is one of the busiest actors in South India with more than half a dozen projects across languages in his kitty. The Naan Kadavul Illai star had his last outing in the Sasikumar starrer Nandhan helmed by Era Saravanan in which he had essayed a supporting role. The drama was received with critical acclamations but it did not reflect in the box office. The actor will soon have a prospect to get back to winning ways with his next film christened Thiru Manickam. Story teller Nanda Periyasamy has penned and directed the entertainer. Actress Ananya of Engaeyum Eppothum fame has been cast as the female lead in the flick. Thiru Manickam will be released worldwide on 20th of December this year.
The production house had shared the teaser of the flick a couple of months ago. Now they have unveiled the trailer of the drama on social media. Taking to his official X profile, actor Dulquer Salmaan dropped the trailer of Thiru Manickam and captioned it, “Happy to unveil the Thiru Manickam Trailer. Best wishes to my dearest Kani Sir and the entire team!! Directed by: Nanda Periyasamy.” Here is the post made by the actor.
Nearly two minute trailer of Thiru Manickam starts with the voiceover of a child, “The one person I admire the most in this world is my dad.” We are then presented with a few glimpses of Samuthirakani’s family bonding moments. The voiceover continues, “We were so happy. But everything changed in a day.” We witness Samuthirakani getting embroiled in a clumsy issue which puts him on the run. The scene cuts to a police official promising someone via a call that he would find and fetch him to them before dark. We are then introduced to Bharathi Raja who utters a philosophical line, “Things we do not receive when needed, things we receive in surplus when not needed, both are a pain.” The trailer ends with Samuthirakani promising, “I will come soon and reveal the truth.”
Thiru Manickam also features veteran director Bharathi Raja, Thambi Ramaiah, Ilavarasu, Nasar, Chinni Jeyanth, Karunakaran, Vadivukarasi, Sulil Kumar, Gracy, Chaams, Chandru, and Sriman. Music composer Vishal Chandrashekar has overseen the musical division. M Sukumar has been trusted with the cinematography department. Editor Guna has been bestowed with the responsibility to edit the entertainer. Art director Sahu has designed the background for the flick. Stunt master Dinesh Kasi has fashioned action sequences. The venture is funded by G P Rekha Ravikumar, Chintha Gopala Krishna Reddy, and Raja Senthil under their production label GPRK Cinemas.
On the work front, actor Samuthirakani is gearing up for a successive release in RajaKili helmed by Umapathy Ramaiah in which he has costarred with actor Thambi Ramaiah, Vanangaan directed by Bala with actor Arun Vijay in lead, and a Telugu drama titled Game Changer crafted by Shankar in which he has associated with Telugu superstar Ram Charan. The Yaavarum Vallavare star is currently busy shooting for his upcoming ventures Public filmed by storyteller Raa Paraman in which he will be seen alongside actress Riythvika, and a Telugu film Ramam Raghavam scripted by Dhanraj in which he will be sharing screen space with actress Moksha Sengupta.
