Suriya's 2007 rural hit Vel is set for a re-release on July 19, giving fans the chance to enjoy the actor's performance on the big screen once more, 17 years after its debut. Directed by Hari, Vel was Suriya's second collaboration with the director, featuring him in a dual role as identical twins.

The action drama, known for its strong mother sentiment, showcases a blend of action and emotion typical of Hari and Suriya's collaborations.
