Thillalangadi, Thillalangidi

Director M.Raja and his brother Jayam Ravi have been one of the most successful director-actor combinations at the box office recently. The duo has created quite a number of blockbusters including Jayam, M Kumaran S/o Mahalakshmi, Something Something ... Unnakum Enakkum and Santhosh Subramaniam. Now they are back again with another action-comedy-romance film titled Thillalangadi.

Thillalangadi is the remake of the 2009 Telugu blockbuster Kick that had Ravi Teja, Illeana and Shaam in the lead roles. Thillalangadi has Tamannaah Bhatia playing the heroine opposite Jayam Ravi while Shaam is retained in the role that he played in the original. The film has an extensive supporting cast including Prabhu Ganesan, Suhasini Maniratnam, comedians Vadivelu and Santhanam among others.

Shaam plays a tough cop in the film. He flies down to Malaysia for two reasons: to meet his fiancee (Tamannah) and to trap a criminal, who has been carrying on every heist brilliantly. Tamannah tells him about her bitter experiences with her ex-boyfriend (Jayam Ravi), who cannot live without getting a "kick" out of doing things. Shaam then starts his stunt for the thief. He gets a surprise when Tamanna’s ex-boyfriend turns out to be the thief. What follows is a cat-and-mouse game that is filled with fun, action and adventure.

Thillalangadi is produced by Raja's and Ravi's father Editor A.Mohan. Yuvan Shankar Raja has scored the music and B. Rajsekhar has handled the camera for the film. Editing is by L.Sasikumar.

Thillalangadi will be distributed by Sun Pictures and is expected to be released on July 23, 2010.
