MUMBAI: UTV Motion Pictures and Thirrupathi Brothers are readying to release their first co-production Vettai in January next year in time of Pongal, the harvest festival of South India.

The film revolves around two brothers settled in Thoothukudi, with the elder one working as a police officer.

While Madhavan plays Thiurmurthy the police officer, Arya plays his younger brother.

A carefree Arya later takes on the action avatar as circumstances force him to do so. This makes for a racy entertainer.

Sameera Reddy plays Madhavan‘s wife and Amala Paul as her sister with whom Arya falls in love with.

The film has been directed by N Lingusamy, who is known to have consistently delivered super hits like Anandam, Run, Sandakozhi, Bheema and Paiyya.

UTV, which is distributing, marketing and syndicating the film worldwide, has already commenced booking cinemas for the Pongal release.
