Viduthalai is one of the most awaited releases of 2023 and the film is a crime thriller written and directed by Vetri Maaran with Soori and Vijay Sethupathi in the lead. The film will be released in two parts and the dubbing for the first part began recently. Pictures of Vijay Sethupathi at the dubbing studio along with director Vetri Maaran are doing the rounds on the internet. The plot is adapted from the short story Thunaivan, which has been penned by Jeyamohan. The star cast includes Soori in the lead, who plays a police constable, along with Vijay Sethupathi, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Bhavani Sre, Prakash Raj, Rajiv Menon and Chetan.

Viduthalai marks the maiden collaboration of Vetri Maaran with Ilaiyaraaja. This is the first album of Ilaiyaraaja from his new studio after his fallout with Prasad Studios and it is said to comprise three songs. The portions of the film have been shot in the interior forests of Sathyamangalam and Sirumalai. Cinematography is by R Velraj and editing by R Ramar. While Peter Hein has choreographed the stunt sequences, art direction is by Jacki. The distribution is being handled by Udhayanidhi Stalin's Red Giant Movies. Viduthalai is bankrolled by Elred Kumar of RS Infotainment and is slated to hit screens in February.

After Viduthalai, Vetri Maaran will move on to his much hyped project, which will have Suriya collaborating with him for the first time. The film is based on Tamil writer CS Chellappa's novel of the same name and revolves around the traditional bull taming sport. Suriya has been preparing for his character by rearing two Jallkattu bulls. Vijay Sethupathi, on the other hand, is all set to act in Aranmanai 4, which will be directed by Sundar C. He will be teaming up with Santhanam in the film. He also has a series of films in his kitty, which includes Jawan, Merry Christmas, Mumbaikar and Farzi to name a few.
