Hombale Films are not only making those big-budget blockbusters costing hundreds of crores, but they are also aiming to capture the mid-level and small budget films market. An example is Keerthy Suresh’s upcoming film Raghuthatha, which promises to be a comedy-drama. A glimpse of the film was released today by the makers.
The promo only features a vintage-looking cinema poster of Keerthy in half-saree. The poster is being carried through a busy market, and in the background, a narrator announces the details of the film.
Here’s a glimpse of Raghuthatha:
Directed by Suman Kumar, Raghuthatha also stars M S Bhaskar, Devadarshini, Ravindra Vijay, Anandsami and Rajesh Balakrishnan. Sean Roldan is composing the music for the film, while Yamini Yagnamurthy is handling the camera. The makers have called the movie “a rollicking, hilarious adventure”.
Raghuthatha, the title of the film, is inspired by the popular comedy sequence from Bhagyaraj’s Indru Poi Naalai Vaa. The scene involves a Hindi teacher trying to teach the sentence, “Ek gaav mein ek kisaan rahata tha (A farmer lived in a village).” The reluctant and spoilt student keeps repeating the sentence as ‘Raghu thatha’ which, in Tamil, means Raghu’s grandfather. The sequence was a huge hit back then and has remained a part of Tamil pop culture.
Meanwhile, Hombale Films’ biggest project Salaar Part 1: Ceasefire is all set to be released on December 22 across the world in multiple languages. Starring Prabhas and directed by Prashanth Neel, the film also has Prithviraj in the lead role.
