Actor Jiiva, who was last seen in Telugu film Yatra 2, has announced a new Tamil project on Thursday. The film is titled Black, and the first-look poster of the film was released by the makers on social media. Actor Priya Bhavani Shankar plays the female lead.

Jiiva's next titled Black

It has been some time since actor Jiiva appeared in a Tamil film. He was last seen in Tamil in the 2022 romantic comedy film Varalaru Mukkiyam. On Thursday, the actor announced a new project titled Black. The first look of the film was released.

Black is produced by Potential Studios production banner which has made films like Maya, Maanagaram, Monster, Taanakkaran and Irugapatru. The first look shows Jiiva holding a club, as we see a dark and cloudy backdrop. Multiple figures of him are seen, suggesting it to be a thriller.

Black is set to hit big screens in September. However, a release date for the film is yet to be announced. Apart from Jiiva, the film also stars Priya Bhavani Shankar, Vivek Prasanna and others. It marks the first time Jiiva and Priya Bhavani Shankar will be collaborating onscreen. The latter was last seen in the horror thriller sequel Demonte Colony 2, which is currently running in theatres.
