On the occasion of Anna Ben's birthday on Friday, the makers of her upcoming film, Coimbatore Mappillaii, have unveiled the actor's character poster from the film. A romantic comedy, the film is helmed by Naai Sekar director Kishore Rajkumar, who also doubles up as the lead alongside Anna.
The poster introduces Anna Ben's character as Kanagavalli. She can be seen with her iconic curly hair wearing a saree. Coimbatore Mappillaii marks its writer-director Kishore's debut as a lead actor. His credits in non-lead roles include Kaithi, Comali, Kee, Velaiilla Pattadhari 2, and Imaikkaa Nodigal.
The film has been produced by Karthik Srinivas and Mahaveer Ashok under the company Noise and Grains. It marks the media production and talent management company's maiden production venture.
The previously released first-look poster shows Anna Ben's character holding Kishore Rajkumar's hero with a red rose in between his teeth, in addition to a sacred thread around them. It is a refreshing change from conventional posters, where the hero holds the heroine in his arms.
Kishore recently said that the film explores compatibility between couples and that it focuses strongly on Anna Ben's character. The filmmaker called it a story with much humour and romance that is in the vein of K Bhagyaraj's cinema and that aims to offer a "feel-good experience" to the audience.
Praveen Balu has written the screenplay and dialogues for the film alongside director Kishore. Praveen also doubles up as the film's cinematographer. On the technical front, it also has editing by Ram Pandian, choreography by Brinda Master, and art direction by Sri Sasikumar. The makers are yet to announce the film's composer. The film reunites both Praveen and Ram with Kishore after 2022's Naai Sekar, starring Sathish in his first lead role. With production wrapped, a release date for the film is yet to be announced.
