Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu First Look: Silambarasan in a new avatar in Gautham Menon’s next

The upcoming film TR Silambarasan and Gautham Menon's Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu poster is out. Delivered by Ishari K Ganesh of Vels Film International, the film likewise has A.R. Rahman on board as a music composer.

The main look of the film includes a rumpled Silambarasan remaining amidst a timberland fire, in what seems, by all accounts, to be a provincial dramatization spine chiller, a long way from his previous heartfelt movies with GVM.

Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu, roughly translating to ‘The spark that reduced the forest to ashes’, is a line borrowed from Bharatiyar’s popular Agnikunjondru, which has also been referenced in Tamil film Uriyadi.
