*Time to witness Tamil Industry Tamil pushing Narrative Boundaries This January with New-Fangled Thriller*

The Bed, written and directed by S. Manibharathi after his notable films Vettu Vettu and Parivarthanai, is gearing up for a grand theatrical release across Tamil Nadu this January. 

The film, bankrolled by  V. Vijayakumar under the Srinidhi Productions banner gets a Midas-touch with the release by newly launched ambitious Anjaneya Productions of Coimbatore, the film features Srikanth in the lead role alongside Srushti Dange as the female lead, with John Vijay, Black Pandi, Pappu, and Devi Priya portraying impactful supporting characters.

The film, a new-fangled genre made with the intention of offering a never-before cinematic experience, is shot amidst the awe-inspiring natural grandeur of the Nilgiris, deep forest trails drenched in mist and expansive tea estates breathing tranquillity. The Bed promises an entirely refreshing cinematic sensibility. Rather than narrating events through a conventional human protagonist, the screenplay adopts a boldly imaginative viewpoint: the story unfolds through the silent gaze of a “BED”,  placed inside a secluded cottage in Ooty, a witness to the private storms and secret longings of the lives it supports.

Shedding lights on ‘Bed’, and sharing his experience of shaping this film, Director S. Manibharathi says, “Producer Vijayakumar and our lead actor Srikanth are truly the greatest blessings this film has given me. The moment Anjaneya Productions’ K. Kandasamy and K. Ganesan watched the film, they immediately came forward to release it, for that I remain deeply grateful. Releasing right at the dawn of a New Year, The Bed will arrive as a celebration for audiences. We shot romantic sequences in the midnight frost of Ooty, it was brutally challenging for its climatic conditions, yet the results have become some of the film’s most cherished moments.

What excites me most is the originality of our narrative. Rather than a human telling the story, the screenplay unfolds through the gaze of a bed inside a cottage, a silent witness to human joy, sorrow, love, and secrets. This bed has seen everything that the world refuses to notice. That perspective, I believe, will stay with the audience long after the film ends.”

The film’s technical excellence is amplified by the artistry of cinematographer K. Gokul, music composer Taj Noor, lyricist Yugabharathi, editor J. P., and art director Palanivel, with A. V. Palanisamy serving as production executive. Together, this team has fashioned a work that blends innovation, atmosphere, and emotional resonance into a compelling theatrical experience.

The Bed is poised to invite audiences into a world where even the quietest objects have stories to tell, and the walls of a cottage carry the weight of unsaid truths.
