Actor, composer and producer GV Prakash Kumar has confirmed that filming for his upcoming project with director Hariharan Ram has entered its final schedule. The two-time National Award winner shared an image from the sets on X and announced that the latest phase of production is currently underway. The film, which is being backed by Lark Studios and Parallel Universe Pictures, features Malavika Manoj as the female lead.
Production Moves Into Its Final Phase
GV Prakash Kumar shared the update along with a photograph from the film’s sets, writing that the team had moved into the “final schedule.” He also credited cinematographer Theni Eswar and tagged the production banners associated with the project.
The film was officially announced in April and went into production in June. While the makers have not revealed extensive details about the storyline, the project has generated interest because of the combination of GV Prakash Kumar and Hariharan Ram, whose previous directorial venture received attention from both critics and audiences.
Hariharan Ram Teams Up With GV Prakash
Hariharan Ram is known for directing Joe, a film that became both a critical and commercial success. GV Prakash Kumar was reportedly impressed by the filmmaker’s storytelling style and subsequently came on board as the lead actor.
The collaboration also extends beyond acting, with GV Prakash set to handle the film’s music. This marks another project where his work as a performer and composer comes together. The makers have indicated that the role will present him in a different avatar, with sources close to the production saying that he underwent substantial preparation for the character.
Malavika Manoj Plays the Female Lead
Malavika Manoj, who appeared in Joe, has been paired with GV Prakash Kumar in the upcoming film. Her association with Hariharan Ram continues through this project after her appearance in his previous directorial venture.
The makers have kept details about the characters and plot largely under wraps. That limited information has allowed the production team to maintain focus on the film’s principal cast and technical crew while work progresses toward completion.
Theni Eswar Handles Cinematography
Acclaimed cinematographer Theni Eswar is responsible for the visuals of the film. Known for his work in movies including Karnan and Vaazhai, Eswar has been associated with several projects noted for their distinctive visual treatment.
His collaboration with Hariharan Ram and GV Prakash adds another notable technical name to the production. With principal photography now approaching completion, the cinematography and editing processes will become increasingly important as the team moves toward the next stage of post-production.
GV Prakash’s Recent National Award Recognition
GV Prakash Kumar has continued to balance acting and music in recent years. He was recently associated with Amaran, the Tamil blockbuster based on the life of Major Mukund Varadarajan, who was posthumously awarded the Ashoka Chakra for his service and sacrifice while fighting militants in Jammu and Kashmir.
His work on the film’s background score earned him another National Award, adding to his recognition as a composer. With his latest acting project now entering its final shooting phase, further details about its title, release plans and other aspects are expected to emerge as production progresses.
