The way the genre shifts into an extraordinary night in the life of an ordinary man,who lives in a small world of his own, consisting of his family and his beloved vehicle.The interval roars with the savagery of the forest and the beastly nature of man

#Thudarum: is a very solid emotional thriller with proper amount of drama, mass elements and proper space for the actor Mohanlal. Easily his best film & performance in the recent past.

Stage setting in the first half & the payoff in the later half was done brilliantly. Superb. pic.twitter.com/4yrxA0XPTV
While speaking about working with Mohanlal and Shobhana in Thudarum, director Tharun Moorthy said, “When the project first came to me, it was already a Mohanlal film. Makers had Mohanlal in mind as Shanmugham from the start. But the script demanded someone who could balance Tamil and Malayalam fluently, and that’s where Shobana fit perfectly. She wasn’t just cast for nostalgia. She was essential to the character. That pairing gave the story an emotional weight that couldn’t have been replicated with anyone else.”
He further added, “They’re legends, but they came to the set simply as actors. That made my job easier. I created a world for the film, and they stepped into it effortlessly, without the weight or baggage of their star status. There was no star treatment, no caravans, no hierarchy. We’d all sit together under a tree, chatting about art, Facebook posts, or just life. They made the set feel like a space where creativity could flow freely.”

He also praised their chemistry and the comfort both the actors brought in the film. The filmmaker said, “Because of who they are together on screen, I didn’t have to spend 10 or 15 minutes of my screen time to establishing their chemistry. The audience already believes in them. Their connection… their history…it all adds up and helps the story click from the very first frame.”
The movie also stars Farhaan Faasil, Maniyanpilla Raju, Binu Pappu, Irshad Ali, and Aarsha Chandini Baiju, Thomas Mathew, Krishna Praba, Prakash Varma, and Aravind in the supporting roles.
