Thudarum also marked the reunion of Mohanlal and Shobana after 15 years. Earlier, the duo was seen together in the 2009 film Sagar Alias Jacky. The film also features Farhaan Faasil, Mathew Thomas, and veteran actors like Maniyanpilla Raju and Bharathiraja, in key roles.
Some of Shobana-Mohanlal’s hit films include Pakshe (1994), Minnaram (1994), Manichithrathazhu (1994), and Thenmavin Kombathu (1994).
Director Tharun Moorthy’s film Saudi Vellakka received the National Award for Best Feature Film in Malayalam.
M Renjith of Rejaputhra Visual Media bankrolled Thudarum. Tharun Moorthy and KR Sunil wrote it. Nishad Yusuf edited it, and Vishnu Govind was the sound designer.
Jakes Bejoy composed the music. He teamed up with Tharun Moorthy earlier for Operation Java (2021).
Thudarum‘s synopsis on IMDb reads: In the quiet hill town of Ranni, humble taxi driver Shanmughan treasures one thing above all – his aging Ambassador car. When fate puts him to the test, he must prove just how far he’ll go for what he holds dear.
Meanwhile, Tharun Moorthy has announced his next project Torpedo starring Fahadh Faasil, Naslen, and Arjun Das.
Torpedo is penned by actor Binu Pappu. On the technical front, Jimshi Khalid handles cinematography, while Sushin Shyam composes the music and Vivek Harshan takes on editing duties.
Sound design is by Vishnu Govind, with Gokul Das leading art direction. Costume design is managed by Mashar Hamsa, and action sequences are choreographed by Supreme Sundar.
