Etharkkum Thunindhavan also known under the initialism ET, is an upcoming Indian Tamil-language action thriller film written and directed by Pandiraj and produced by Sun Pictures. The film stars Suriya, Priyanka Arul Mohan, and Vinay Rai. The film is scheduled to release theatrically on 10 March 2022 along with dubbed versions in Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada languages.
During May 2019, Suriya was reported to work on a project backed by Sun Pictures, in their third collaboration with Suriya after Ayan (2009) and Singam (2010). The film was speculated to be directed by Hari, which would mark his sixth collaboration, following Aaru (2005), Vel (2007) and the Singam franchise, but he eventually exited the project without revealing the actual reasons, but later collaborated with Suriya in another film which was titled Aruvaa, and was produced by Studio Green. But this project was also shelved and Suriya chose to do a film with Pandiraj instead of a project with either Adanga Maru director Karthik Thangavel or an unnamed Telugu director. Pandiraj earlier worked with Suriya, whose production company 2D Entertainment had backed his projects Pasanga 2, which had the latter playing a supporting character and Karthi’s Kadaikutty Singam.
The music of the film is composed by D. Imman in his second collaboration with Pandiraj, following Kadaikutty Singam (2018) and Namma Veettu Pillai (2019). Imman was initially roped in for the untitled film with Suriya, which was directed by Siva, and also for Aruvaa, which was directed by Hari. As the projects did not materialise, this film marked the first collaboration with the actor. Yugabharathi and Vignesh Shivan were initially hired for writing the song lyrics. In November 2021, actor Sivakarthikeyan was also announced to pen lyrics for one of the songs in the film.
The composer had worked with an ensemble musical team of 100 musicians to work on the film’s soundtrack and background music. In early-December, reports surfaced that G. V. Prakash Kumar will record the introductory track for the film, and Anirudh Ravichander was also roped in to croon for one of the tracks in the album, which consisting of a different genre. Later, the team had officially announced that both the composers had recorded the vocals for the track titled “Vaada Thambi” which was written by Vignesh Shivan. Carnatic musician Brinda Manickavasakan made her debut as a playback singer in feature film, with the track “Ullam Urugudhaiya”.
Etharkkum Thunindhavan is scheduled to release on 10 March 2022. The film is scheduled to release in Tamil along with dubbed versions released in Telugu, Malayalam, Hindi and Kannada languages. This will be also Suriya’s first Pan Indian Release in theatres as his previous films like Soorarai Pottru and Jai Bhim were OTT releases though they were dubbed and released on Amazon Prime Video.
The film was initially scheduled for theatrical release on 24 December 2021, coinciding with the Christmas weekend. However, in mid-October, reports surfaced that the film will be released a week prior to the originally slated date (17 December), which would clash with Allu Arjun starrer Pushpa: The Rise and Tom Holland starrer Spider-Man: No Way Home. As Sun Pictures’ other production, the Vijay-starrer Beast (2022), which was originally scheduled to release on Pongal (14 January 2022), was postponed to April 2022 citing production delays, the makers planned for a release on that festival, since the difficulties in post-production meant that the film would not be released within Christmas. However, on 19 November 2021, it was announced that the film would be theatrically released on 4 February 2022. Etharkkum Thunindhavan was postponed again due to increase in COVID-19 cases.
