Sivakarthikeyan has showcased his singing prowess once again in the first single from the upcoming film Thaai Kizhavi, starring Radikaa Sarathkumar in the titular role as Poun Thaayi. Directed by debutant Sivakumar Murugesan, the song titled 'Thaai Kizhavi Varaa' serves as the title song and establishes why her character is feared among villagers. For the unversed, the film is presented by Sivakarthikeyan's SK Productions.
Composed by Nivas K Prasanna, the song has lyrics by Karumathur Manimaran. The teaser of Thaai Kizhavi, which was released last month, showed her character—an unapologetic matriarch-cum-usurer who beats goons and men in the village when they fail to repay money. She doesn't hold herself back from uttering swear words as well.
In addition to Radikaa, Thaai Kizhavi also stars Singam Puli, Arul Doss, Munishkanth, Bala Saravanan, Ilavarasu, Muthukumar, George Maryan, and Raichal Rabecca. Radikaa was last seen in Revolver Rita, headlined by Keerthy Suresh and directed by JK Chandru, who previously helmed Naveena Saraswathi Sabatham.
On the technical front, the film features music by Nivas K Prasanna, cinematography by Vivek Vijayakumar, and editing by San Lokesh. Thaai Kizhavi, produced by Sudhan Sundaram's Passion Studios, releases in theatres on February 20.
Having produced films such as Kanaa, Vaazhl, Doctor, and Kottukkaali, Thaai Kizhavi marks the sophomore film for Sivakarthikeyan as a presenter, with the first being House Mates.
