Veteran comedy artiste Mayilsamy's son Anbu is getting launched as a hero with the horror-thriller, Thiripuram. Directed by Vedhamani, the movie will star Brindha as the female lead. The director says "the film imparts a relevant social message to the audience that nobody can make this world entirely good or bad." Niharika, who was seen in a famous reality show on television, will play the antagonist. 

Early this year, Anbu had also signed a comedy entertainer produced by Pattiyal Sekar, father of filmmaker Vishnuvardhan and actor Krishna. Reports suggested that the makers were planning to launch Anbu with a new name. 

Last year, Anbu was shooting for a fantasy comedy titled 60 Naatkal, which had a host of comedians including Powerstar Srinivasan, Charle, Delhi Ganesh, and Pandu.
