The first look posters for Mandaadi, a high-budget Tamil sports action film directed by Mathimaran Pugazhendhi, featuring Soori in a lead role, a shift from his comedic background to a dramatic action persona following his acclaimed performance in Viduthalai Part 1 (2023). Set against a sea backdrop, Mandaadi is described as a sea fantasy drama, with its posters showcasing Soori and the cast in rugged, sports-centric attire, hinting at a narrative possibly blending traditional sports like boat racing with fantastical elements, produced by RS Infotainment and creatively overseen by Vetrimaaran. The film’s music is composed by GV Prakash Kumar, and it stars a diverse ensemble including Sathyaraj, Mahima Nambiar, and others, reflecting Tamil cinema’s trend of merging regional sports culture with high-stakes drama, as seen in past hits like Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu (2009).
