The makers of actor Jiiva’s upcoming film Thagappan unveiled its first look on Monday evening, triggering an enthusiastic response from fans across social media. The poster features Jiiva with a cropped hairstyle alongside a young boy, hinting at his role as a caring father, while the title itself underscores a strong emotional core.
Directed by Ra Venkat and produced by Lark Studios, the film is said to be a hard-hitting emotional drama, marking a sharp departure from Jiiva’s recent lighter entertainer. Shot extensively in and around Madurai, the film is being completed in a single schedule, with the team aiming to wrap up production later this month.
Rajisha Vijayan plays the female lead, while Lakshmy Ramakrishnan will be seen in a pivotal role. With cinematography by Sukumar, the film has already generated positive word of mouth from locals who have witnessed the shoot, adding to the growing anticipation around the project.
