We had previously reported that actors Vijay Sethupathi and Nithya Menen are starring in director Pandiraaj's next. Now, on Saturday (May 3), the makers announced that the film's been titled Thalaivan Thalaivii.
Sathya Jyothi Films, the banner backing the film, unveiled a title teaser to announce the news. The hilarious teaser begins with shots of parottas being made on a hot tawa, with voiceovers from Arasi's (Nithya) in-laws and to-be husband (Vijay) who promise to treat her like a queen. When the camera zooms out, the hands making the parottas are revealed to be those of Arasi and her husband.
When Arasi questions him about whether this is what he meant by treating her like a queen, a quarrel ensues. The later portions of the teaser show actor Yogi Babu's character utter a famous meme dialogue, before cutting into a montage of shots from the film.
Billed as a 'rugged love story,' Thalaivan Thalaivii marks a reunion between Vijay and Nithya after the Malayalam film 19(1)(a).
With music scored by Santhosh Narayanan, the film has cinematography by M Sukumar and editing by Pradeep E Ragav. Sendhil Thyagarajan and Arjun Thyagarajan produce the film under their Sathya Jyothi Films banner.
