Jo will dub for herself in Magalir Mattum, and Suriya might just sing a song in the film!

The poster of her upcoming film Magalir Mattum has people raving, and now Jyothika has another treat lined up for her fans. The veteran actor will dub in her own voice for the movie, where she plays a documentary film maker called Prabha.

Having made a smashing comeback with 36 Vayadhinile a couple of years ago, Jyothika’s soon to be released Magalir Mattum is also a film with strong women characters. Along with Jo, the film stars Bhanupriya, Urvashi and Saranya Ponvannan.

Directed by National award-winning filmmaker Bramma, the film, according to its director, will explore ‘one of the many rarely spoken about women-centric subjects’. The dubbing for the film has already started, and this is the first time that Jyothika will be giving her own voice to a character in a Tamil film.

In the film, she plays a documentary filmmaker who, we are told, will address ‘a very serious problem’. In the film’s second poster, she was seen riding a Royal Enfield bike with a UP registration.

The director has revealed that Jyothika will be seen riding the bike in a few scenes in the film, and added that he didn’t make her ride a bike because it’s cool but he wanted to break the myth that there are some things women can’t do.

Produced by Suriya, the film is gearing for release in March, and has music by Ghibran.

And if rumours are to be believed, Suriya might actually be lending his voice for a song in the film!
