Director
Ponram, known for his flair in delivering successful comedy entertainers in Tamil cinema, is back with a new film titled Kombu Sevi. He made a mark with his 2013 blockbuster 'Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam' and followed it up with hits like 'Rajini Murugan,' 'Seemaraja,' 'MGR Magan,' and 'DSP.' For his next venture, he is teaming up with
Shanmuga Pandian, the younger son of the late actor and politician
Vijayakanth. This marks an important milestone in Shanmuga Pandian’s career as he takes on a powerful role under an experienced filmmaker.
Glimpse unveiled on Shanmuga Pandian’s birthday
To coincide with Shanmuga Pandian's birthday yesterday (Apr 6), the makers released a glimpse video from the film. The short teaser begins with the line “Once upon a time in Usilampatti, there lived a Pandian…” and features Shanmuga Pandian in a striking retro avatar. Wielding a spear and charging ahead with intensity, his look and screen presence have drawn strong comparisons to his father, Vijayakanth, creating a nostalgic buzz among fans. The video has gone viral on social media, sparking high expectations for the film. With Ponram's proven directorial touch and Yuvan's music backing the project, 'Kombu Sevi' is shaping up to be a promising rural action drama. More updates from the team are expected soon.
A strong cast and crew
'Kombu Sevi' also stars Sarathkumar, Kaali Venkat, Kalki Raja, and Dharunika in key roles, adding strength to the ensemble cast. The film’s music is composed by
Yuvan Shankar Raja, with Balasubramaniem handling cinematography and Dinesh Ponraj in charge of editing. Produced by Star Cinemas, the film is said to be inspired by real-life incidents that took place in the 1990s across regions like Usilampatti, Kambam, and the Vaigai Dam. The rural setting and rooted narrative promise a gripping story with cultural depth.
