One of the most expected Tamil films of this year is Vidaamuyarchi starring Ajith Kumar in the lead role. After postponements, the action thriller has finally zeroed in on a release date in February. Here is everything you need to know about the film before you watch it on big screens.
Vidaamuyarchi, starring Ajith Kumar in the lead role, was initially slated to release for Pongal in January. While several films had reshuffled for the arrival of the Ajith Kumar starrer, the makers had to postpone the film. The action thriller is now hitting theatres on February 6, just a week ahead of Valentine’s Day.
The much-awaited trailer of Vidaamuyarchi was released a few days ago on social media. The film’s trailer gives us a glimpse of how Vidaamuyarchi will be a road-action drama. There is a car chase and a collision, and we are shown the lead pair, played by Trisha and Ajith. As they share some lovable moments, the film takes an emotional turn, and trouble brews for them. Arjun and Regina also play a couple. The trailer begins to tease a potential conflict between the two parties.
The cast of Vidaamuyarchi is led by Ajith Kumar. It stars Trisha as the female lead, reuniting with Ajith after Yennai Arindhal. Vidaamuyarchi also stars Arjun Sarja, Regina Cassandra, Arav, Ramya Subramanian, Nikhil Nair, and others in important roles.
