Vaada Thambi is jointly sung by two young composers, GV Prakash and Anirudh Ravichander. Etharkkum Thunindhavan is set to open in cinemas on February 4. It will be the first film of Suriya to release in theatres in over two years. His last film to have a theatrical release was the 2019 action drama Kaappaan. Owing to the pandemic, Suriya’s big-budget biopic drama Soorarai Pottru was released directly on Amazon Prime Video. So was his latest courtroom drama Jai Bhim. Alongside Suriya, Etharkkum Thunindhavan also stars Priyanka Arul Mohan and Sathyaraj. Etharkkum Thunindhavan will mark Pandiraj’s third project with Suriya after Pasanga 2 and Kadaikutty Singam. While Suriya played the lead role in Pasanga 2, he produced and made a cameo appearance in Kadaikutty Singam, which was headlined by his brother Karthi.
