Kamal Haasan watched Thaai Kizhavi and commended the makers, adding that audience praise, more than critical acclaim, will shape the film’s long-term success.
Veteran actor Kamal Haasan recently watched Thaai Kizhavi and expressed his wholehearted appreciation for the team, calling it a special and sincere cinematic effort. Praising the makers, Kamal Haasan referred to Sivakarthikeyan as a “Sirappana Producer” and director Sivakumar Murugesan as a “Sirappana Director,” acknowledging the commitment and clarity behind the project.
Those present described Kamal Haasan’s reaction during the screening as deeply moving. His warm embrace of the film’s lead performer Radikaa Sarathkumar spoke volumes about the emotional impact the film left on him. Summing up his thoughts, Kamal Haasan remarked that while his appreciation matters, it is the audience’s response that will ultimately elevate the film and carry it to greater heights.
Thaai Kizhavi, as showcased in its teaser, presents a rooted rural narrative with strong emotional undertones, striking performances, and an earthy visual tone that reflects lived-in authenticity. The teaser highlights a film driven by characters, relationships, and raw emotions, positioning it as a content-led entertainer rather than a spectacle-driven one.
With strong word-of-mouth already building, Thaai Kizhavi is now gearing up for a wide theatrical release worldwide on February 27th.
To see him enjoy the film and embrace the team with such warmth… a moment we will treasure forever @ikamalhaasan sir 🙏#ThaaiKizhavi #ALegendAMoment #ThaaiKizhaviFromFeb27 @Siva_Kartikeyan @Sudhans2017 @KalaiArasu_ @SKProdOffl @PassionStudios_ @realradikaa @Dir_SivakumarM… pic.twitter.com/S3Xa2MvLqb
