Debutant director Madhumitha will commence shooting for her maiden directorial venture Vallamai Tharayo from Wednesday.

Madhumitha, who had earlier worked as an associate of Goutham Menon, has cast Parthiban in the lead role. She had plans to cast Prithviraj but later, she has changed her mind and roped in the experienced Parthiban in the pace of young Prithvi.

Madhumitha is planning the film to be a different fare. “It will be different from my mentor’s style. With a talented director like Parthiban playing the lead, we are confident of rendering an engrossing entertainer”.

It is learnt that Chaya Singh, who created a memorable impact in the blockbuster 'Thiruda Thirudi', has been roped in as the heroine in the movie. Her role is quite different. She plays the wife of the protagonist. She seeks divorce just because her husband is too good!

Nalini Sudararaman produces the movie while Bharadwaj handles the music.
