Surya Sethupathi’s Hero Debut in Phoenix, Releasing July 4

AK Braveman Pictures presents Phoenix, an action-packed film that marks the hero debut of Surya Sethupathi, son of Makkal Selvan Vijay Sethupathi. The film is slated for a grand theatrical release on July 4, 2025.

Directed by renowned stunt master Anl Arasu, Phoenix features a top-tier technical crew, with Sam CS scoring the music, Velraj as the cinematographer, and Praveen KL handling editing. This high-octane entertainer blends intense action with emotional depth, offering the ideal platform for a promising newcomer.

Though this is Surya’s first lead role, he has previously appeared in films like Naanum Rowdy Dhaan and Sindhubaadh. With Phoenix, he takes on a full-fledged character for the first time, aiming to establish himself beyond legacy and step forward as an actor in his own right.

The second single, “Indha Vangiko”, launched today, is a festive kuththu track composed by Sam CS and choreographed by Baba Bhaskar. The vibrant visuals by Velraj and Surya’s spirited dance performance have already begun creating a buzz online.

In a heartfelt gesture, the song was launched on social media by Vijay Sethupathi, showing his support for his son’s big-screen debut.

With a strong creative team and an earnest debut performance, Surya Sethupathi enters with not just a name, but clear intent and potential. Phoenix is more than a launchpad — it marks the beginning of a promising new chapter in Tamil cinema.
