Filmmaker CS Amudhan, known for pioneering the spoof genre in Tamil cinema, is reportedly gearing up for the third installment of his cult comedy franchise – Thamizh Padam 3. Sources suggest that an official announcement about the project is expected very soon, setting social media abuzz with excitement among fans of the iconic parody series.
The Thamizh Padam franchise began in 2010 with the release of the first film, starring Shiva in the lead. The movie broke new ground by becoming Tamil cinema’s first-ever full-length spoof, hilariously poking fun at popular commercial film tropes: from heroism and romance to over-the-top action and emotional drama. The film’s clever writing and self-aware humor made it an instant hit, earning cult status over the years.
The success led to ‘Thamizh Padam 2’, which hit screens in 2018. The sequel took the satire a notch higher, spoofing not just films but also media trends and the political landscape, all while maintaining Amudhan’s trademark deadpan tone and meta references.
With Thamizh Padam 3 now reportedly in development, expectations are soaring. Fans are eager to see what new elements Amudhan will lampoon in this era of social media obsession, cinematic universes, and streaming platforms.
