Excitement is building for ‘Thai Kelvi,’ the upcoming Tamil rural comedy-drama that puts women’s strength front and center. Radhika Sarathkumar shines as the fierce mother caught in her sons’ property rivalry, a role that’s sparking widespread interest.
Shivakumar Murugesan directs this Passion Studios and Sivakarthikeyan Productions offering. At the trailer launch, Sivakarthikeyan, wearing his producer’s hat, shared a jaw-dropping story about Radhika’s extraordinary commitment during a tough phase.
Plagued by intense knee discomfort leading to surgery, she didn’t miss a beat on set. The production pleaded with her to heal first, and when she came back, aligning the packed schedules of co-stars was tricky. Pre-surgery, they captured her in ensemble seated sequences; post-op, solo moments followed.
In a scheduling miracle, everything wrapped on the director’s specified date, crediting Radhika’s flexibility. Such professionalism is the exception, not the norm, he highlighted. The ensemble cast includes Singam Puli, Arul Doss, Bala Saravanan, Munishkanth, Ilavarasu, George Maryan, Muthukumar, and Rachael Rebecca.
Don’t miss ‘Thai Kelvi’ lighting up screens from February 27—a film that blends humor, drama, and unyielding spirit.
