We had reported earlier that late actor-politician's son actor Shanmuga Pandiyan will star in U Anbu's Padai Thalaivan.
The makers, on Saturday, released the first single from the film titled 'Un Mugathai Paarkkalaiyae'. The first single is a melancholic number where the protagonist is feeling bad about getting separated from the elephant that he grew up with.
U Anbu has previously made films like Walter (2020) and Rekhla (2022). Padai Thalaivan is billed to be an out-and-out action thriller made in the backdrop of forests.
Apart from Shanmuga Pandian, the cast also features director and actor Kasthuri Raja, Yamini Chander, the granddaughter of veteran filmmaker AC Tirulokchander, Munishkanth, and Rishi Rithvik.
With music by Ilaiyaraaja, Padai Thalaivan has a screenplay and dialogues by director Parthiban Desingu. The technical team consists of cinematographer SR Sathish Kumar, editor S Elayaraja, and stunt choreography by Mahesh Mathew. A release date for the film is yet to be announced by the makers.
