South star Vijay Sethupathi has teamed up with actors Vikrant Massey, Ranvir Shorey and Sachin Khedekar, among others, for Satonsh Sivan’s next film, Mumbaikar. Vijay has shared the “title look” for the film on Friday.
Vijay shared a poster for the film and tweeted, “Here’s the title look of #Mumbaikar! Happy to be a part of it @santoshsivan @shibuthameens @masseysahib #TanyaManiktala @imsanjaimishra @RanvirShorey @SachinSKhedekar @iprashantpillai @hridhuharoon #RiyaShibu @proyuvraaj.”
Santosh Sivan said in a press statement, “Every city has its own spirit and so does Mumbai that is synonymous with the spirit of resilience. Mumbai is a magnet. It draws aspirants from all over India, both in terms of region and religion. It is the city of dreams, the city of hope, the city of magic to many. A stranger can change your life here. And in the midst of the concrete jungle, there is a heartbeat that heals! Mumbai may be a metrop, but Mumbaikar is an emotion! Hence the title. In terms of cast, we have an intriguing and interesting mix of national talents. And that adds to the magic.”
Filmmaker Karan Johar also shared the poster and wrote, “Promises to be a stunning cinematic experience! A @santoshsivan film!!! @VijaySethuOffl @masseysahib #tanyamaniktala #hridhuharoon #sanjaymishra @RanvirShorey #sachinkhedekar my best wishes to this exceptionally talented team of artists!” Baahubali director SS Rajamouli and Mumbaikar director Santosh also shared the poster.
He also said, “I am very very pleased and honoured to share with you, two gentlemen whose work I have admired and applauded in Cinema. One is Santosh Sivan, the prolific cinematographer and director whose work is tremendous, and the world has acknowledged it and continues to. The other is the brilliant artiste, the genius artiste Vijay Sethupathi Sir. His work has been again world-acclaimed, applauded and for everyone to see how it has been.
