Telugu actor Sunil has been making waves in Tamil cinema of late, with memorable performances in films such as Maaveeran, Jailer, Mark Antony, and Good Bad Ugly. Now, the actor has joined the cast of filmmaker Vijay Milton’s upcoming Tamil-Telugu bilingual film.

Starring Bharath, Aari Arujunan, Raj Tharun and Paal Dabba in the lead, the upcoming film will feature Sunil as Poongavanam, an “intense, layered character with emotional depth,” said the makers.

Speaking about Sunil’s casting, director Vijay said in a statement, “Sunil is not just a crowd favourite — he’s an actor of great depth and instinct. This character is unlike anything he’s played before. It’s raw, vulnerable, and powerfully human. I believe audiences will rediscover him in this film.”

While plot details remain unknown, the upcoming film is said to be a “grounded, socially relevant and emotionally driven” film. The title of the film, produced by Rough Note Production, is set to be announced on June 15.

Meanwhile, this comes just a day after it was announced that Sunil has joined the cast of Malayalam actor Antony Varghese’s upcoming film Kattalan, directed by Paul George.
