Nivin Pauly’s much-awaited Tamil film, Richie is fast approaching completion, and the makers have planned to release it in May. Talking to DC, the film’s director Gautham Ramachandran, says “The editing of the film has been completed, and the DI and sound mixing processes have begun. I’m quite excited about the sound mixing — Vishnu Govind and Shankar from Sound Factory will be doing it. They are perhaps the best in the business, and I am very positive about the output.”
Notably, Richie will be Nivin’s first straight Tamil film. The actor has put extra effort in the film and has also dubbed for himself. Talking about the actor, Gautham says, “The character of Richie will be a stark contrast from what the audience, even in Kerala, have seen Nivin do so far. If they had categorised him in any way, Richie will be diagonally opposite to that, I’m sure.”
An adaptation of Rakshit Shetty’s Kannada film Ulidavaru Kandanthe, Richie has an ensemble cast which includes Natty, Shraddha Srinath, Prakash Raj, Lakshmipriya, GK Reddy and many others. The film’s first look and teaser will be out in 20 days.
