The much-awaited teaser of Pandiraj's Suriya-starrer Etharkkum Thunindhavan to be out on New Year?

Sun Pictures, which is bankrolling Suriya's upcoming flick, Etharkkum Thunindhavan, had announced recently that the film will have a theatrical release on February 4. The first look and second look of the movie were revealed a few months ago, on the star's birthday. It is now heard that the much-expected teaser of the project will be unveiled on New Year.

Billed as a family drama, the film has been directed by Pandiraj. Priyanka Arul Mohan plays the female lead in the movie which has Sathyaraj, Saranya Ponvannan, Vinay Rai, MS Bhaskar and Soori among others in pivotal roles. 

Imman is composing music for Etharkkum Thunindhavan which has R Rathnavelu cranking the camera and Ruben handling editing. The movie marks the second collaboration of Suriya and Pandiraj after Pasanga 2, in which the former played an extended cameo. This is apart from the brief appearance the star made in the director's Kadaikutty Singam (streaming on Amazon Prime Video). 

Rashmika Mandanna, who debuted in Tamil with Sulthan (streaming on Amazon Prime Video), was initially considered to play the female lead in the project, but later Priyanka was roped in to essay the role.

Though an official update on the film's teaser is yet to be out, looks like exhibitors have started organizing the movie's shows on its release date. An ardent fan of Suriya had asked a leading exhibitor in Cuddalore about their plans of screening the film on February 4, and they replied that shows will begin from as early as 4 am in the morning. 

The audio launch of Etharkkum Thunindhavan is expected to happen later this month, followed by the teaser and trailer in January.
