As mentioned by DT Next, the filming will commence by the end of this year. It is also said that Karthi will start shooting for the film once he wraps up shooting for his Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan.

After ten years of hiatus, it would be exciting to see the pair back on screen together. Aayirathil Oruvan was one of the most critically acclaimed Tamil films.
