Sivakarthikeyan Productions teams up with Passion Studios for Radhika Sarathkumar’s Thaai Kizhavi

In an interesting development, Sivakarthikeyan Productions has joined hands with Passion Studios to bankroll a new film titled Thaai Kizhavi, headlined by seasoned and versatile performer Radhika Sarathkumar. The announcement has generated curiosity, especially with the makers unveiling a teaser that firmly establishes the film’s rustic tone and unconventional central character.

Set against a rural backdrop, the teaser introduces Radhika Sarathkumar as the driving force of the narrative: an elderly woman who lends money to villagers and commands fear and respect in equal measure. Her character, portrayed as a formidable presence, is shown collecting dues in a manner that borders on ruthless, with the villagers’ anxiety and reactions forming the crux of the teaser. Interestingly, the makers present these grim undertones with a playful, darkly humorous narration, giving the film a distinct tonal identity while hinting at layered storytelling beneath the surface.

The film boasts a strong ensemble cast featuring Singam Puli, Arul Doss, Bala Saravanan, Munishkanth, Ilavarasu, George Maryan, Muthukumar and Raichal Rabecca, among others, in key supporting roles. Each of these actors is known for adding texture to rural dramas, suggesting a character-driven narrative that relies heavily on performance.

Thaai Kizhavi is written and directed by Sivakumar Murugesan, who appears to be crafting a grounded story rooted in village dynamics and power structures. Music for the film is composed by Nivas Prasanna, whose background score is expected to complement the film’s earthy setting and dramatic beats.

The makers have officially confirmed that Thaai Kizhavi is slated for a theatrical release on February 20th, positioning it as a noteworthy rural drama to watch out for in the coming days.
