Silambarasan TR is all praise for Chithha, says proud of Siddharth

Siddharth-starrer Chithha has been receiving broad attention since the film's release in theatres on September 28. The latest celebrity to appreciate the film is Silambarasan TR.

Taking to his X handle, STR wrote, "Chithha is beyond hard hitting! A very sensitive subject handled in the lightest way possible with much clarity! Hats off to the director SU Arunkumar. Extremely proud of actor Siddharth for choosing this script and producing it! Congrats to team Chithha."

Chithha is backed by Siddharth's home banner Etaki Entertainments. The film is about the relationship between an uncle and his niece, as the story takes a sour turn when a paedophile is lurking in their neighbourhood. 

Apart from Tamil, it has been released in Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada and mostly opened to positive reception. The CE review of the film read, "A sensitive, powerful film that breaks conventional rules of heroism. This film about sexual abuse does a grand job of standing by its women and asking tough questions of its men."

Apart from Siddharth, the film also stars Nimisha Sajayan and Anjali Nair, among others. The technical team of Chithha comprises music composer Dhibu Ninan Thomas, cinematographer Balaji Subramanyam and editor Suresh A Prasad.

Meanwhile, Silambarasan was last seen in the action-drama Pathu Thala. He has a tentatively titled STR 48, produced by Kamal Hassan's Raaj Kamal Films International, in the pipeline.
