Director: R K Vidyadaran
Producer: Thirumalai

After lying around in the can for about 2 years, this Srikanth – Navya Nair starrer has finally seen the light of the day. Stripped bare, it’s a triangular love story, not quite unseen altogether.

A full-length spoof on Tamil movies released ever since cinema was found, Thamizh Padam breaks away from the stereotypes. Played out by Siva, Thamizh Padam is a comic treat – even the songs never cease to be funny.

Director: Saran
Producer: Prabhu, Ramkumar Ganesan
