Rio Raj's next with Malavika Manoj titled Aanpaavam Pollathathu

We had earlier reported that Rio Raj is teaming up with his Joe co-star Malavika Manoj for an untitled romantic comedy directed by debutant Kalaiarasan Thangavel. The film which was wrapped last year, has now been titled Aanpaavam Pollathathu.

The film, bankrolled by Drumsticks Production, is reportedly about a modern-day middle-class married couple whose husband has an issue with his wife's progressive ways.

Apart from Rio and Malavika, the film also features the producer Vedikkaranpatti S Sakthivel, and actors Sheela Rajkumar and RJ Vigneshkanth in pivotal roles.

Siddhu Kumar, who scored for Joe, is the music composer for this upcoming film. The rest of the technical crew includes cinematographer Madhesh Manickam, editor Varun KG, and art director Meevin. A release date for Aanpaavam Pollathathu is yet to be announced by the makers.

Apart from this, Rio Raj also has another romantic film Sweetheart!, helmed by Swineeth S Sukumar in his directorial debut. Also starring Gopika Ramesh as the female lead, the film is slated to release in theatres on March 14.
