February 5, 2026 Published by Natarajan Karuppiah

After much anticipation, the movie ‘Aazhi’, starring Tamil cinema’s ‘Supreme Star’ Sarathkumar, is finally surfacing. Ahead of its theatrical release on February 27, 2026, the makers have surprised fans by releasing the film’s teaser.

The teaser opens grandly with massive sea waves and the eerie silence found in the depths of the ocean. Sarathkumar stuns the audience with a never-before-seen, rugged, and menacing look. Watching the teaser, it is evident that the film is an emotional action thriller centered around the sea.

A powerful line delivered by Sarathkumar—”Mother, sister, father… everyone is innocent. Where is my daughter?”—strongly suggests that the plot is a father’s intense revenge thriller.

Sound Design: Oscar winner Resul Pookutty’s sound design is a major pillar of the teaser. The sounds of the ocean and the background score for action sequences feel incredibly realistic.

Jassie Gift’s music heightens the momentum and keeps the viewer on the edge of their seat.

Director Madhav Ramadasan (of Melvilasom fame) appears to have crafted a very deep and impactful story.

Alongside Sarathkumar, the film features a stellar ensemble cast including Devika Satheesh, Indrajith Jagan, Thamaraiselvi, Vaiyapuri, and Sreejith Ravi. Produced by Ponnu Kannan and Sajit Krishna under the 888 Productions banner, the film boasts high-end technical values.

The screenplay likely revolves around drug trafficking at sea or an injustice committed against a family.

True to its name, ‘Aazhi’ (The Ocean) is expected to rock the screens on February 27 with its deep storytelling and Sarathkumar’s high-octane action. There is little doubt that this will be a powerful “comeback” film for the actor.
