Magalir Mattum, bankrolled by 2D Entertainment, also starrs Saranya Ponvannan, Oorvashi and Banupriya in the lead roles. It is slated to release on September 15. Jyothika’s role in the film is unclear so far and if she has a romantic interest that would be more of a surprise too. However, speculations are already rife that Surya will be making a special appearance in the film. This is, however, not a sequel to the original Magalir Mattum, which released in 1994.
