Vaazhl, the much-awaited project which is produced by Sivakarthikeyan's SK Productions and directed by Aruvi fame Arun Prabhu Purushothaman, has finally premiered on SonyLIV. The project, which is touted to be a travel film, features Pradeep in the lead role. TJ Bhanu, Diva Dhawan, and Aahrav essay pivotal roles in Vaazhl.
The movie which marks director Arun Prabhu Purushothaman's first collaboration with his cousin, renowned actor-producer Sivakarthikeyan, was originally supposed to be a theatrical release. Vaazhl was initially supposed to hit the theatres in February 2021, but later went the OTT way due to the second wave of the pandemic.
According to director Arun Prabhu Purushothaman, Vaazhl was initially planned as his directorial debut. But the talented filmmaker had to put the project on hold, as he was unable to convince the producers. But later, Arun's cousin Sivakarthikeyan, to whom he had narrated the story 10 years back, decided to bankroll the film. Arun Prabhu, who is a former assistant of hitmaker KS Ravikumar, had recently stated that he wants to make films that are relatable to the people. However, the young filmmaker confirmed that Vaazhl doesn't have layers of social commentary like his debut directorial venture, Aruvi. Coming to the technical team of Vaazhl, Shelley Calist has handled the cinematography of the project, Pradeep Kumar has composed the songs and original score, while Raymond Derrick Casta has handled the editing.
