Vanangaan teaser: Arun Vijay fits well in Bala’s universe of realism and violence

Arun Vijay and Bala have joined hands for the first time, and the film looks like yet another violent story in the director's stable.

Arun Vijay in Vanangaan.

Director Bala is back with the teaser of his upcoming film Vanangaan, which features a typical ‘Bala hero’. With discolored hair and an ever-irritated face, Arun Vijay is perfectly in sync with the world of the director which is realistic.

A key difference in Vanangaan is that there is a conscious effort to make the cinematography look superior in comparison to his previous ventures, which looked raw and rustic.

Going by the teaser, Arun Vijay plays the role of an angry young man, who seems to punching above his weight. The teaser has also put an end to the rumor that the film is based on the short story of Jeyamohan from his collection Aram. While the short story is set in the pre-Independent era, the film is not.
