On Monday, we reported that Tharshan's next, GodsJilla, went on floors with a formal pooja ceremony. Helmed by Mohan Guruselva and also starring Gautham Vasudev Menon, the film is billed to be a fantasy rom-com.
Tharshan has revealed that he was particularly excited to take up this project, after the success of Surrender, as per a report on IANS. “After the excellent response to my recently released film Surrender, I have been getting a series of action-orientated roles, mostly cop roles, just like the one I did in Surrender. However, I wanted to break the mould and decided I would do a rom-com film, as I have been wanting to do a light-hearted rom-com for some time now. This film is a fantasy rom-com, and it appeared to be challenging. Also, it has been some time since a film like Arai En 305il Kadavul, in which God appears, was made. So, I decided to take this up.”
The film also stars Alisha Mirani, who will be seen as the female lead. Directed by Mohan Guruselva, GodsJilla is produced by Zinema Media and Entertainment Ltd, with Creative Entertainers and Distributors and PGS Productions on board as co-producers.
Billed as a “new-age fantasy rom-com”, the film aims to weave together mythology, humour, fantasy, and romance. At the heart of the story is a heartbroken young man whose disillusionment with love sparks a divine intervention, taking him on a transformative journey of redemption, self-discovery, and love.
The supporting cast includes Robo Shankar, KPY Vinoth, and Black Pandi. The technical crew features cinematography by Shivraj, editing by Aravindh B Ananth, music by Karthik Harsha, and art direction by Sourabh Kesav.
