It is a story of a goddess coming to life and how a common man’s life changes through it. Actor Nayanthara’s plays Mookuthi Amman, a socio-political Tamil satire. This is likely to skip theatrical release and head directly for OTT release for Diwali. An official announcement is expected to be made soon. Having essayed several different characters over the years, Nayanthara is for the first time playing a goddess and this marks R Balaji’s directorial debut.
Talking about its theme, RJ Balaji says “It will be a 100% saami (devotional) padam. It’s not a satire on the genre. It will have all the elements that were there in the devotional films that we grew up watching. It will be a nostalgic trip, but there will also be a takeaway that is relevant, especially in these present times.” The film also features Urvashi, Smruti Venkat and Ajay Ghosh among others. Produced by Ishari K Ganesh, the film has music by composer Girishh, cinematography by B Dinesh Krishnan while RK Selva is handling the editing and stunt choreographer Stunt Silva will take care of the action.
