The makers of Thambi, Jeethu Joseph’s Tamil film with Jyotika and Karthi, released the trailer of the movie on Tuesday evening. The plot is intriguing with Jyotika and Karthi sharing the screen space for the first time.
From the trailer which is a little over two minutes, the movie seems to be about a prodigal son, Saravanan (played by Karthi) who returns home after a long gap of 15 years. Sathyaraj plays the role of his father and Jyotika his elder sister. Though the parents are convinced that their son has returned, Jyotika, her grandmother and many others in the family are not too convinced about the identity of Saravanan. What follows is a mix of laughter, action and suspense, with Saravanan also shown entering politics.
The trailer also has Anson Paul playing the role of a police officer and Nikhila Vimal playing the role of Sanjana, Saravanan’s childhood friend. The movie marks the debut in Tamil for both the Malayalam actors.
Sowcar Janaki plays the role of Jyotika’s grandmother while Master Ashwanth, who had stolen the show in Super Deluxe as the character Raasukutty, is also making an appearance.
Thambi is director Jeethu Joseph’s second film in Tamil after Papanasam. Rensil D’Silva and Manikandan have written the script while the technical crew of this film comprises of Govind Vasantha for music and RD Rajasekar for cinematography. The film is jointly bankrolled by Viacom 18 and Parallel Minds Productions.

The actor will be next seen in Sultan, directed by Bakkiyaraj Kannan of Remo fame. Meanwhile, Jyotika was last seen in Jackpot alongside Revathy and will be next seen in Pon Magal Vandhal by director JJ Fredrick.
