Actors Yogi Babu and Oviya have been signed to play the leads in an upcoming comedy entertainer titled Contractor Nesamani. The film is directed by Swadees MS, an erstwhile assistant of Magizh Thirumeni.

"Contractor Nesamani is a full-on fun entertainer with a sci-fi element in it. The film is mainly aimed at the kids and youth audience, " says Swadees.

The film's title is borrowed from Vadivelu's popular character in Friends. Apart from that, the film's title poster has multiple pop culture references like Spiderman's mask, Salvador Dali mask (Money Heist), and the tagline of Vijay's Thalaivaa (Time To Lead).

"There's a reason behind everything, which I can't reveal right now as the film is still in the early stages of production. The film will go on floors from next month and will be shot in Chennai and Pollachi," says the debut director.

Produced by Anka Media, Contractor Nesamani has music by Dharma Prakash and cinematography by Suresh Dhandapani.

Yogi Babu, who was last seen in the family entertainer Annabelle Sethupathi, has films like Valimai, Doctor, and Aranmanai 3 in the lineup.
