After leaving the audience awestruck with his debut film Dhuruvangal Pathinaaru, director Karthick Naren is now set for the release of his next film, Mafia. The director started off work on Mafia: Chapter 1, last year, which shows Arun Vijay and Priya Bhavani Shankar in the lead roles, while actor Prasanna will play the antagonist. Now, Lyca Productions has officially announced that Mafia will release on 21st February, making a box office clash with Prabhu Deva's action cop drama, Pon Manickavel.
The makers recently released two teasers of the film, and they instantly went viral and managed to generate a tremendous response from the fans. The first teaser showed visuals of Arun Vijay and Prasanna playing mind games with each other, the second one showed a little bit of the film’s plotline. For the technical team, Mafia has Jakes Bejoy for music composition, Gokul Benoy for cinematography, Sreejith Sarang for editing, and art direction done by Siva Sankar. Don Ashok worked as the stunt choreographer and Vivek penned the lyrics.
The director’s other film Naragaasooran will release in March. Meanwhile, Arun Vijay's first look as ‘Ranjith’ from Agni Siragugal has released sometime back and was making rounds of social media. While shooting is complete, the film will enter post-production soon. The film, produced by T Siva under the Amma Creations banner, features Akshara Haasan, Prakash Raj, Raima Sen, Nassar, and Sendrayan, among others, in pivotal roles. Prasanna will act in Mysskin’s Thupparivaalan 2.
