The makers of Aadhi's next Sabdham, directed by Arivazhagan, dropped the lyrical video of 'Grandma Song' on Monday.
The number, like its title, encapsulates the spooky folktales narrated by grandmothers in Tamil Nadu. 'Grandma Song' describes all kinds of ghosts and their qualities as believed by people. The song, composed by Thaman, has Vaikom Vijayalakshmi in the vocals with Viveka penning the lyrics.
The film's recently released trailer depicted Aadhi as a paranormal investigator who goes on an investigation of an unspecified supernatural activity. The glimpse also showed Lakshmi Menon as a doctor.
Sabdham also features notable actors Laila and Simran playing prominent roles. The film also features Redin Kingsley, MS Baskar, Rajiv Menon, and Vivek Prasanna. In an earlier interview with CE, the director said, "Ghosts have always been identified as gory-looking creatures. In order to break away from that template, I thought it would be interesting to see a ghost that takes the shape of water or sound." He also noted that there would be an emotional aspect in Sabdham, which he hoped would resonate well with the audience. "The idea of having an emotional undercurrent in a horror film excited me after watching M. Night Shyamalan's Sixth Sense (1999). I incorporated the emotional elements in Eeram, which gave a satisfying result. I hope this aspect works in favour of Sabdham too," he added.
Backed by 7G Films with Aalpha Frames, the home banner of Arivazhagan, the upcoming film, will mark his debut production venture. The technical crew of Sabdham consists of S Thaman scoring the music, Arun Bathmanaban handling the cinematography, and Sabu Joseph VJ handling the editing. Arivazhagan has already worked with Thaman on his previous films, including Eeram, Vallinam, and Aarathu Sinam.
Sabdham will be released along with Jiiva-starrer Aghathiyaa.
