It’s time for directors to don the greasepaint. Cheran started this trend with `Autograph’ and then Suryah with `New’ and it is now Pravinkant director of `Rakshagan’, `Jodi’ and `Star’ who turns hero in `Thullal’. He has Gurlin Chopra and Sonika as his leading ladies. The reason is because of the snobbish attitude of the heroes. No one is willing to try out new subjects. When I told them the story they said that I should tell it to the heroine since the subject had no heroism. I then decided to put on the grease paint myself was the reason that Pravinkanth gave for his turning hero. Pravinkant earlier three films were all romantic entertainers and it’s main selling point was music by A R Rahman. This time without Rahman and no hero he has changed tracks.

The story is about a youth an ordinary man with no exceptional qualities. He reaches a stage in life when he has to get married. He is confused about what kind of girl should be his life partner .The two heroines Gurlin and Sonika add up to the confusion. Whom does decide to marry forms the story of ` Thullal’ says the director turned hero. The film has Vivek, Seetha Parthipan, Manika Vinayakam, Sumithra, Uma Padmanabhan, Sukumari and Seethalakshmi in the cast. Music by Dhina, cinematography by Suresh Devan the film is produced by Krishnadev and Sekar.
