Dhanush and Hansika starrer Mappillai is gearing up for its release. One of the biggest production house Sun Pictures has started the promotion of the film.

The audio of the film was launched a few weeks back and received great response. The audio launch was telecasted live on small screens yesterday on Sun TV where the run time of program is for more than two hours. Dhanush's speech at the launch stood as a highlighting factor and Hansika too added little more essence to the program with her glamour and innocent smile. Now the small screen promotions are on and the film is all set to reach the big screens on April 8^th, 2011. But sources close to the unit confess that the film has chances of getting postponed by a week i.e. April 15^th as the Tamilnadu state elections are on April 13.

Directed by Suraj the film has all commercial elements which will appeal all sections of audiences.
