Vignesh Shivan and Nayanthara of Rowdy Pictures have enthralled the movie buffs with back-to-back announcements. While the much-awaited movies from their stores including award-winning Koozhangal and raw-n-hard-hitting ‘Rocky’ are all set for release shortly, the production house has launched its new project titled ‘OORKURUVI’.

Speaking about Arun Vignesh Shivan said, “Arun worked as my assistant in the movie Thaana Serndha Koottam. His ideas and clarity have always fascinated me, and Rowdy Pictures is delighted to produce his directorial debut OORKURUVI."

"We are holding talks with leading actors and technicians right now and will make an official announcement shortly. The entire movie will be shot across the exquisite locations of Southern Tamil Nadu. Rowdy Pictures always believes in creating and presenting unique content, and OORKURUVI will be a delightful experience for audiences,” he added.

While Koozhangal is a melodrama and Rocky is a crime-thriller, the next film Oorkuruvi is expected to be a full-length comedy film. Kavin, of Bigg Boss and Lift fame, is roped in to play the lead role while "Chinna Thirai Nayanthara" Vaani Bhojan plays the lead lady. The movie is directed by debutant Arun, who worked as an assistant director to filmmakers Vignesh Shivan in Thaana Serndha Koottam and Ajay Gnanamuthu in the movies Demonte Colony and Imaikka Nodigal.
