Keerthy Suresh’s ‘Raghu Thatha’ to clash with ‘Pushpa: The Rule’

In the teaser, which appears to be set in the 1980s, Kayalvizhi is depicted fighting against the imposition of Hindi.

Directed by Suman Kumar, known for his work on the popular Hindi thriller series, The Family Man (2019), Raghu Thatha also features MS Bhaskar, Devadarshini, and Ravindra Vijay in key roles.

In a statement, producer Vijay Kiragandur described Raghu Thatha as a comedy-drama centred around a resilient and determined woman who discovers her individuality by questioning conventions, standing firm on her beliefs, advocating for them, and ultimately emerging as a source of inspiration for all.

Delivered with humour, the film guarantees to evoke laughter from every family member while also prompting introspection, he added.

#RaghuThatha, Kayalvizhi’s heart-warming adventure is coming to a theatre near you. Get ready for a hilarious, emotional and empowering rollercoaster
ride!#RaghuThatha releases on 15th August 2024.
Mark your calendars and spread the word!
