Retta Thala – action thriller

Helmed by Maan Karate-fame director Kris Thirukumaran, the upcoming film is set to be a high-octane action thriller. Interestingly, the film will have not one but two leading ladies – Siddhi Idnani and Tanya Ravichandran. Earlier director Kris revealed that the film will be made on a grand scale and also stated that it would be a game-changer in Arun Vijay’s career. “Just like how Maan Karate opened doors for Sivakarthikeyan, this movie will pave a new path for Arun Vijay,” the director said.

According to the director, it was director AR Murugadoss who had recommended Arun Vijay’s name to him during casting. He also stated that Arun Vijay will be seen in 5 different looks with the actor undergoing a massive physical transformation for the film.

Retta Thala, which translates to 'Double Heads', was initially reserved to be the title of AR Murugadoss and Ajith's film, which later got shelved. Now, his assistant director Kris has got the opportunity to use the title for his film instead.
