Jai’s action thriller movie titled ‘Yenni Thuniga’  

Actor Jai’s lineup of movies for the upcoming season is proving to be unique in aspects of genre and premise. He has now kick-started his new project ‘Yenni Thuniga’, a high volatile thriller movie. Produced by Suresh Subramaniam for Rain of Arrow Entertainment, the film marks the directorial debut of SK Vettri Selvan, a former associate of director Vasanth and cinematographer Ravi K Chandran. He has shot several commercial advertisements as well.  The film’s shooting commenced this morning with a ritual ceremony attended by cast and crew.

Director SK Vettri Selvan says, “The film’s title Yenni Thuniga is inspired from the famous proverb of Thirukural, which signifies that several thoughts can be allowed before getting into action, but once started, there shouldn’t be stepping back. Such happens to be the characterization of our film’s protagonist Kathir, played by Jai who works in an IT company. He leads his life with the motto of “Living the moment” and that doesn’t mean, he has the devil-may-care attitude. He is good natured and is always caring about his family and friends. In contrast, there is Narmada, played by Athulya Ravi, who is so much focused and concerned about her future and others as well. However, these characters with chalk and cheese nature tend to fall in love with each other. But the film’s main conflict arises, when Jai’s peaceful life is disturbed by a bunch of bigwigs in the society, who create chaos in his life. Now he has to step forward and combat them down. This will be an out and out racy thriller film laced with twists and turns.”

While speaking about the cast and crew, SK Vettri Selvan adds, “It is well known that Jai is always outstanding with his performance and dance. In this film, he will be seen performing some extraordinary Live action sequences. I am sure; Athulya will be definitely noted for her nuance performances. Although, both of them have shared the screen space together in the movie ‘Capmaari’, their roles and this film will be completely in contrast to it. Sunil Reddy, Vaibhav’s elder brother, who debuted in films through Seethakaathi will be playing a negative role. We are now approaching one of the leading artistes to play another negative character in the film and will making official announcement on this soon.”

Anjali Nair will be seen playing another female lead in this movie, which has an ensemble star-cast. Sam CS (Music),JB Dinesh Kumar (Cinematography),  VJ Sabu Joseph (Editor), GN Murugan (Stunt), Sherif (Choreography), NJ Sathya (Costume designer), ‘96’ fame Karthik Netha (Lyrics) and Raja (Publicity design) are the main technicians involved in the film.

The much-anticipated Amazon Prime Original Series, 'Mirzapur', starring Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal and Vikrant Massey is now streaming on the service and has already become the talk of the town owing to its brilliant star-cast and dialogues! Director, Gurmmeet Singh and the showrunner, Karan Anshuman and Puneet Krishna have put their heart and soul into creating this masterpiece. Other than an intriguing narrative and excellent star-cast, the series unveils trivia that you wouldn't have known otherwise!

1. Pankaj Tripathi came up with an interesting phrase for Mirzapur - "Tum Vishuddh Ch** ho''. He formulated this phrase on his own. The word Vishuddh means pure and ch**ya means nonsense, and together the phrase means 'he is a pure nonsense person'.

2. Akhanda's house was shot in 'Moti Jheel Haveli' in Varanasi - The production designers took 10 days to restore the dilapidated exterior of the haveli and bring in the architectural heritage. At the same time, care was taken to preserve the original murals painted on the walls of the haveli.

3. Bablu's black diary - The black dairy that Bablu carries everywhere has a 'T' embossed on it, which stands for Tripathi. It was customized by the production design team post the creative discussions on the project.

4. To our surprise, the ‘compounder’ character played by the actor Abhishek Banerjee, also happens to be the casting director of the series.

5. Fake Opium was created by the production team - The team made two types of fake opium. The first type was made by melting the mixture of various kinds of dark chocolate and milk. It was later cooled and cut into small pieces. The second type of opium was made of dark clay and was used as a prop in the scenes involving the making and transportation of opium.
