Description: Aayirathil Iruvar is an upcoming Tamil film written, directed and produced by Saran. The film features Vinay in dual lead roles and three newcomers, Samuthrika, Swasthika and Kesha Khambhati, as the female leads, while the director's regular composer Bharathwaj scores the music. The film was shot primarily in Thirunelveli while filming took also place in Hyderabad, Bangkok and Dubai. The film was said to be dealing with money laundering and hawala. The film scheduled to release in 2016.
Swasthika and Kesha were also being introduced, in place of a couple of actresses who had been revealed earlier. In a press meet closer to the film's release, Saran announced that he had renamed two of the three female lead to avoid confusion with existing artistes. Hindi actress Sakshi Chaudhary became Samuthrika for Tamil films after impressing Saran at an audition, while Surabhi became Swasthika after Saran was impressed by a photograph. Supporting actress Rethika Srinivas, previously seen in Vazhakku Enn 18/9 (2012) and Nimirndhu Nil (2014), revealed that she would play a village character pitted against the two characters played by Vinay. She also revealed that the film's title had been changed to Aayirathil Iruvar and the team subsequently shot scenes in Tirunelveli. Besides Rethika, Sana and Kaajal Pasupathi were reported to play important roles.
