New Delhi: Tamil actors Vijay Sethupathi and Nayanthara will be seen in a new film titled Kaathu Vaakula Rendu Kaadhal that will release in cinemas, though an official date is yet to be announced.

She made her acting debut in the 2003 Malayalam film Manassinakkare and entered the Tamil and Telugu cinema industries with Ayya (2005) and Lakshmi (2006), both commercially successful. This was followed by a string of Tamil, Malayalam and Telugu hits like Chandramukhi (2005), Rappakal (2005), Ghajini (2005), Billa (2007), Bodyguard (2010), Babu Bangaram (2016), Iru Mugan (2016), Dora (2017), Velaikkaran (2017), Kolamavu Kokila (2018), Immaika Nodigal (2018), Viswasam (2019), Love Action Drama (2019), Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy (2019) and Bigil (2019).
