The Tamil film industry is gearing up for ‘Thai Kelvi,’ a compelling rural comedy-drama centered on female empowerment. Veteran actress Radhika Sarathkumar leads as a determined matriarch navigating a fierce property battle with her four sons. Her performance has already generated massive hype ahead of the film’s release.
Helmed by director Shivakumar Murugesan, the movie is a joint venture by Sivakarthikeyan Productions and Passion Studios. During the trailer unveiling event, producer Sivakarthikeyan recounted an inspiring tale of Radhika’s grit that left everyone in awe.
Battling excruciating knee pain that necessitated surgery, Radhika refused to halt production. She powered through scenes until the team insisted she get treated first. Upon her return, rescheduling the ensemble cast was no easy feat, but strategic planning saved the day.
They filmed group sitting scenes pre-surgery and isolated ones later, ensuring seamless continuity. Against all odds, the shoot concluded precisely on the director’s deadline, a testament to Radhika’s selflessness and team synergy. ‘Her role demanded such fire, and she delivered beyond expectations,’ Sivakarthikeyan noted.
Joining Radhika are notable talents like Singam Puli, Arul Doss, Bala Saravanan, and more. ‘Thai Kelvi’ arrives in theaters on February 27, poised to resonate with themes of resilience and familial strife in a light-hearted yet profound package.
