Taapsee Pannu to star in Ashwin Saravanan’s Game Over

Describing the thriller that unfolds inside a house, Ashwin said for about 70 percent of the film Taapsee will be seen in a wheelchair.

“It will be a quirky thriller set inside a house. It’ll feature very few characters. Ever since I saw Pink, I’ve wanted to work with Taapsee. I’m glad everything fell in place for this project and I’m excited to be working with her. She’s someone who is not really screen-conscious and can really get under the skin of a character,” Ashwin told IANS.

But Game Over will not be a woman-centric film.

“I don’t think making a film with a woman as the protagonist alone makes it woman-centric. Let’s look at Anushka Sharma’s NH10. It’s primarily a thriller about honour killing featuring a woman as the strong protagonist. My film is also a thriller and it features Taapsee as the protagonist,” he said.

This will be Ashwin’s third film. He made his directorial debut with Nayanthara-starrer 2015 Tamil paranormal thriller Maya. His second film Iravaakaalam, starring SJ Suryah in the lead, which will release soon. Ashwin is thankful to Sashikanth of Y Not Studios for commissioning this project. “As a production house, they’ve consistently pushed boundaries with respect to content with their projects.

“Be it Va Quarter Cutting or Vikram Vedha, they’re attempting different films and not just backing consumer-friendly films. It’s a relief to find such a producer and I’m really proud to associate with him,” he added.

Ron Yohann has been roped in to compose the music for Game Over, which has been co-written by Kaavya Ramkumar.
