Thangar Bachan is churning out 'Onpathu Rupai Nottu' inspired by his novel titled the same. It stars Sathyaraj and Archana in lead roles.

Chief Minister M Karunanidhi's 'Ulyin Osai', a short story is being made into a film. Inspired by the lives of a sculptor and a classical dancer, the movie stars Vineeth in pivotal role.
