Actor Vetri has forged a reputation for himself in Tamil cinema as someone who picks interesting scripts. Some of his projects might have compromised quality of craft due to their shoestring budget. But the story line always lies on the unique side. The Red Sandal Wood actor had his last outing earlier this year in the anthology movie Adharma Kadhaigal scripted by storyteller Kamaraj Vel. He will soon have yet another release in the upcoming entertainer Aalan. Filmmaker R Siva who had previously delivered Karotiyin Kadhali, has penciled and helmed the drama. German origin actress Mathura and Malayalam actress Anusithara of Pathu Thala fame have essayed pivotal roles in the entertainer. The film has been shot in and around the surroundings of Chennai, Kodaikanal, Puducherry, Kasi, and Rishikesh. An official update regarding the date of release is expected to be made in the coming days.
The production team has now unveiled the trailer of the drama on social media. Taking to his official X profile, actor Arya dropped a poster from the flick along with a link to the trailer of Aalan and captioned it, “Glad to launch the Trailer of Aalan, Looks super exciting, Sending my best wishes to the entire team! Aalan trailer.” Here is the post made by the actor.
Two minute trailer of Aalan opens to an aerial view of Kasi and Rishikesh. Then we witness actor Vetri in the getup of a sage of sorts take a dip in a holy site. The scene cuts to a discussion between Hareesh Peradi and Vetri, “Whatever one loves the most is his spirituality. I see spirituality in your writing. What is the base ideology of a spiritualist?” There is a shot where an old man enlightens young Vetri, “Education will only be helpful to you. But writing will be helpful to the world.” Aalan is a coming-of-age story about a man who aspires to be a writer from a young age and his journey through various tragedies in life and the experiences he gains from wandering through many religious sites in India.
Apart from Vetri, Mathura, and Anusithara, the casting unit of Aalan has actors Hareesh Peradi, Karunakaran, Vivek Prasanna, and Aruvi Madan Kumar portraying vital supporting characters. Music director Manoj Krishna has been roped in to score music for the movie. Cinematographer Vindhan Stalin has taken care of the cinematography division of the movie. Editor Mu Kasi Viswanathan will oversee the editing department of the flick. Art director K Udhay Kumar has designed the background for the drama. Stuntman Metro Magesh has fashioned action moves. The film is bankrolled by R Siva himself under his production banner 3S Pictures. G Dhananjeyan will be presenting the venture under his home production Creative Entertainers & Distributors.
On the professional front, actor Vetri is staring at a back-to-back release in Iravu directed by story teller Jagadeesan Subu in which he has shared screen space with actress Shivani Narayanan of Bigg Boss Tamil fame, and Aanmagan crafted by director Maga Kanthan in which he will be seen alongside actress Krishna Priya. Besides these ventures, the actor has his long-delayed project Theenkirai helmed by Prakash Raghavadass in which he has collaborated with actor Srikanth.
