Uyarndha Manithan, Amitabh Bachchan’s Tamil debut, which also stars SJ Suryah and Ramya Krishnan, has been titled Tera Yaar Hoon Main in Hindi. The title is inspired by a song from the 2018 film, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety. Directed by Tamilvaanan, the film went on floors in Film City, Mumbai last week. The project is being co-produced by T-Series and Purple Bull Production. 

This film reunites Amitabh Bachchan with Ramya Krishnan after a gap of 21 years. The duo was last paired in Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. 

For his Tamil debut, Big B was earlier offered the role of the antagonist opposite in Shankar’s Enthiran. The actor, however, turned down the role, which eventually went to Danny Denzongpa. Amitabh is also set to make his Telugu debut in the upcoming historical epic, Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy.
