Dharmaprabhu will showcase a new Yogi Babu

Though Yogi does not have a pair in the film, there’s a dream song with Meghna Naidu, which will be shot in Thailand.

Dharmaprabhu will showcase a different Yogi Babu. It is a political satire and Yogi’s dialogue delivery will be new in this fantasy comedy, which will be a trend setter in this genre,” says director Muthukumaran.

Muthu is a close friend of Yogi and the two were roommates for several years before the latter became a big comedian. “I wrote the script keeping Yogi Babu in mind. Today, Yogi has become the busiest and invariably the comedian in Tamil cinema. When I narrated this script to him he was too happy and immediately gave a go ahead. Producer Ranganathan was impressed with it and agreed to bankroll it on a big budget. Everything happened in just three days’ time,” reveals Muthu.

It is a story of Lord Yama played by Radha Ravi who is tired of ruling Yama Loham for one and half lakh years. Since he falls ill, he wants to retire. While Chithraguptan, essayed by Ramesh Thilak, is next in line to adorn the throne, much to everyone’s surprise, Yama makes his son Dharamaprabhu to succeed him. The confusion and galatta that follows is narrated in side-splitting manner.

“On a certain occasion Dharmaprabhu visits bhooloham and there he sorts out several issues including a problem between a pair of lovers. Janani Iyer plays a crucial cameo.”

Though Yogi does not have a pair in the film, there’s a dream song with Meghna Naidu, which will be shot in Thailand. While cinematography is by Mahesh Muthusamy, Justin Prabhakaran is the music composer.
