Soori, Suhas, Mathimaran Pugazhendhi, RS INFOTAINMENT’S Production No 16 Titled MANDAADI, First Look Unveiled

Esteemed production house RS Infotainment, headed by Mr. Elred Kumar, proudly announces its 16th production venture, titled “MANDAADI.”

A gripping sports action drama, the film is set to offer a mix of emotion, grit, and rooted storytelling. Written and directed by Mathimaran Pugazhendhi, who earlier made a strong impression with his debut film Selfie, Mandaadi marks his next directorial outing — this time with a bigger canvas and deeper emotional layers. The film stars Soori in the lead, further continuing his rise as a powerful performer in content-driven cinema. Mandaadi also proudly introduces Telugu actor Suhas to the Tamil industry, expanding the film’s Pan-South appeal. Mahima Nambiar plays the female lead.

The stellar ensemble cast includes Sathyaraj, Ravindra Vijay, Achyuth Kumar and Sachana Namidass, each bringing depth and dimension to this emotionally gripping narrative.

Coming to the technical crew, music is composed by G.V. Prakash Kumar, while cinematography is handled by the acclaimed S.R. Kathir ISC. Production Design is by D.R.K. Kiran, whereas the editing is in the hands of Pradeep E. Ragav. Action is choreographed by the legendary Peter Hein. Sound Design by Prathap, with R. Harihara Suthan heading VFX, ensuring both technical finesse and emotional depth.

The first look of Mandaadi was unveiled on April 19 in a grand media event attended by the film’s cast and crew. The striking visual has already sparked intrigue and anticipation among fans and industry circles alike.

With the test shoot completed and pre-production underway along the coastal regions of Ramanathapuram, the team is gearing up to begin principal photography in the coming days. The film is poised to take audiences on a poignant journey of passion, perseverance, redemption, and human connection, all woven into the high-stakes world of coastal sports.

At the media event, the team also screened a documented video on sailboat racing, offering a captivating glimpse into the world of Mandaadi. This sequence, rich in adrenaline and emotion, sets the tone for what promises to be an immersive cinematic experience.

In the coastal belts of Ramanathapuram and Tuticorin, the term Mandaadi refers to a seasoned expert who leads fishing expeditions. Possessing an exceptional understanding of ocean currents, wind directions, and wave patterns, the Mandaadi plays a crucial role in predicting the movements of fish and navigating treacherous waters. These same skills make him a fearless leader in sailboat races, where strategy, intuition, and courage are tested to their limits.

Writer-Director Mathimaran Pugazhendhi said: “I’m grateful to Elred sir & Vetri sir for trusting my vision and giving me the platform to tell this story. I’ve admired Soori sir’s transition as an actor, and writing this role for him was a heartfelt process. Soori sir’s vision and view in selecting scripts have always been inspiring, and Mandaadi will definitely hold a special place in his career. This film not only elevates him as a performer but also demanded a kind of physical ability and commitment that only an artist like him could bring to life — Mandaadi can only be done by someone who is physically fit and dedicated. Having someone like Vetri Maaran sir as a creative producer has been a guiding force. With a team like this — from GV Prakash’s music to SR Kathir’s visuals — Mandaadi is shaping up to be an honest, rooted sports action film that will emotionally connect with the audience.”
