Halitha Shameem last directed Sillu Karupatti - an anthology of stories on love that was welcomed warmly. Her next is Aelay, a neo-realistic comedy set in a rural town that explores the relationship between a father and a son.
Aelay stars Manikandan and Samuthirakani in the lead. It is learnt that Samuthirakani plays an ice cream vendor in the movie which is jointly produced by YNOT Studios and Reliance Entertainment, and is scheduled for a February 12 release. Now, it has been revealed that Vijay Sethupathi will reveal a sweet surprise about the film tomorrow, 5 pm.
Halitha Shameem recently had a bit of a personal turmoil after losing one of the stars of Sillu Karupatti - Sreeram who passed away after sustaining injuries from a freak fall.
