Music director turned actor Vijay Antony, who was last seen in Annadurai, is back with Thimiru Pudichavan, a cop film, that throws light on the lives of policemen in a police station. Nivetha Pethuraj will be seen alongside Vijay Antony and she plays the role of a Sub-Inspector.
 

The movie will be directed by Ganeshaa and bankrolled by Fatima Vijay Antony of Vijay Antony Film Corporation. The project started with a pooja, yesterday (7th February, 2018) and will go on floors from March 1, 2018.

“Yes, it’s true that I had to intentionally attempt crafting a police story that doesn’t give reminiscence of erstwhile cop movie references. The film will traverse into the lives of policemen in police station and how they treat each other like their own family members,” says Ganeshaa, who adds that the script of Thimiru Pudichavan was completed before 5 years. “When I wrote the script, I was pretty much clear that an actor without larger than life image would befittingly look appropriate for the protagonist’s role. When I narrated the script to Vijay Antony sir, he wanted to do this film after becoming an accomplished actor and has kept his promise as said before,” tots up the filmmaker.

On signing Nivetha Pethuraj for the film, Ganeshaa says, “We wanted someone, who would pull off a cop role with excellence. After seeing the recent photo shoots of Nivetha, we invited her for an audition. She will be seen riding heavy bikes in the film and is undergoing training for that.”
