Thumbaa

The emergence of actors rising from the small screen to prominence in the big screen is ever increasing. The success that had been meted out to the aspirants who hail from the small screen become a huge inspiration for others to follow. The latest to enter into this bracket is Dheena who plays a prominent role in ‘Thumbaa’ directed by Harish Ram, along with ‘Kanaa’ fame Darshan and Keerthi Pandiyan.

“ The opportunity did not come easily. I had to undergo an intense workshop to prove myself. Since the film had got many animated portions, we had to polish our acting skills according to the situations. I grew up in the generation of one liners and punchlines and there are plenty for me to deliver in this film. I am sure the length and breadth of my role will give me a large scope to perform and remain hedged in the memories of the audience for a long time” says Dheena. 

Surekha Nyapati is producing this film under the banners Regal Reels (OPC) Private Limited in association with Roll Time Studios LLP. KJR Studios Kotapadi J Rajesh has acquired the worldwide theatrical rights of this film. Anirudh, Vivek-Merwin and Santhosh Dhayanidhi have scored music for this adventure - fantasy with Cinematography by Naren Elan and editing done by R. Kalaivanan.

Innocent smiles, casual performance and a well registered boy-to-next-door looks - Actor Darshan has turned to be the cynosure of everyone's eyes with such a loveable screen presence in Sivakarthikeyan Productions' "Kanaa". While everyone raves about the film and everyone involved in the process of turning it a successful project, actor Darshan isn't an exception. He has been glorified as a favourite chap by not just youth cohorts, but across all age groups. Apparently, he gears up for his next film as lead role produced by Kalai Arasu and Surekha Nyapati for Roll Time Studios LLP & Regal Reels (OPC) Private Limited.  Tentatively titled as ‘Production No.1’, the film is directed by Harish Ram LH, which has a spotlighting factor of musical score by Anirudh and Vivek-Mervin duo. 

With the film set against the backdrops of comical family adventure, the makers feel that Darshan befittingly looked perfect for the protagonist’s characterization. “Especially, after witnessing his cool, simple yet appealing performance in Kanaa, we felt he would be the right one to bring life into the character,” says director Harish Ram LH, who had earlier been associated with filmmaker Durai Senthil Kumar in movies like Ethir Neechal, Kaaki Sattai and Kodi. 

Of course, it’s going to be a musical bonanza as the film features musical score by the sensational Anirudh and Vivek-Mervin duo, who have arrested the pulses of  youth groups unconditionally with their magical spell.  Having worked with Ravi Varman as associate, Naren Elan is handling cinematography for this film. In addition, Kalaivanan (Editor), Noor (Stunts), Ram Raghav and Prabhagaran AR (Dialogues), Vasuki Bhaskar & Pallavi Singh (Costumes), Anand Krishnamoorthi (Sound Designer) T Udhayakumar & Vinay Sridhar(Audiographers) form the technical crew. 

Since the film involves lots of visual effects, the makers have managed to bring in the big names in the world of VFX that includes Villavan Kothai G (VFX Creative Director), Sri Rengaraj J (VFX Director) and Chandramohan J (VFX Producer).
