Ajay Karthi, known for his roles in Kaalidas 2 and Dark, and Heart Beat fame Deepa Balu are set to headline an upcoming Tamil thriller titled Station – Hunt For Survival. Written and directed by debutant Maaran Karthikeyan, the film is set over the course of a single night and combines elements of romance, crime and action.
Produced by K Dinesh Kumar under the banner of KP Infotainment, the film is currently being shot across Chennai. Deepa Balu will play the female lead opposite Ajay Karthi, while filmmaker and actor A Venkatesh, Dinesh Prabhakar, Balahaasan, Ramesh Thilak, Munnar Ramesh, Jai Krishna, Vaazhai Janaki, Madras Rama, Anu Sri Velan, Prakash, Sophia and Chappani Boys Murali form the supporting cast.
A significant portion of the film's narrative unfolds inside a police station, with nearly 70 per cent of its sequences set within the premises. To accommodate this, the makers have erected an elaborate police station set at a film and technical institute in Chennai. The specially constructed set is intended to lend authenticity to the film's central setting.
Station is positioned as a thriller driven by crime, suspense and unexpected developments, with its single-night timeline forming the crux of the narrative. The project marks the directorial debut of Maaran Karthikeyan and the beginning of KP Infotainment's journey in Tamil cinema.
The technical crew comprises cinematographer Subhas Bharathi, composer Arun Raj, art director Ayyappan S, stunt choreographer Prabhu Jacky, costume designer Dinesh Babu GV and editor Muthayan U. Vicky Andrew serves as the executive producer, while Saravana Balaji K of Time Stone FX supervises the visual effects.
