# Arulnithi, Ameer team up for M Selvakumar film 2026-08-26T18:16:58+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Actors Arulnithi and Ameer have joined hands for a new film written and directed by M Selvakumar, who previously directed the 2023 film Bumper. The film's title and first look will be unveiled on August 28. The film is produced by Samuel Mathew under his 7 Miles Per Second Productions banner, its second project after the Siddharth-starrer Miss You (2024). The crew includes composer Ghibran, cinematographer RD Rajasekar, and editor Ruben. Arulnithi was last seen in Arulvaan (July 2026) and has Ajay Gnanamuthu's Demonte Colony 3 set for release on September 10. Ameer's latest release was the 2025 sports drama Bison Kaalamaadan, written and directed by Mari Selvaraj. ## Indian Opinion Analysis M Selvakumar's only previous feature, Bumper (2023), was a moderate commercial release with no major box-office record, so this film marks a significant step up in casting. Both Arulnithi and Ameer have built reputations in Tamil cinema's mid-budget thriller and drama space, with Ameer also known as a director of films like Paruthiveeran and Ameerin Aadhibhagavan. The pairing could test whether a director with a single small film can draw a wider audience with known actors. The August 28 title reveal will be the first signal of the film's genre and positioning. ## Coverage - cinemaexpress.com Straightforward casting announcement with no editorial slant or opinion.
