Retta Thala

Arun Vijay-starrer Retta Thala has commenced its shooting. The makers of the film took to their social media handles to announce that the team has officially kick-started the shooting schedule. The makers also released a new monochromatic poster of Arun Vijay in dual roles.

Is Retta Thala a revamp of AR Murugadoss’ script for Ajith?

Earlier when the title and first-look poster was released, fans noted that the title Retta Thala was the one AR Murugadoss had reserved for his film with Ajith. For the unversed, the director-actor duo was planning to do a project together with the same title. However, the project did not materialise and was eventually shelved.

As we all know, Retta Thala is directed by Kris Thirukumaran who earlier helmed Sivakarthikeyan-starrer Maan Karate. Kris, who previously assisted AR Murugadoss, had been wanting to direct a film. Now that AR Murugadoss’ project with Ajith has been shelved, Kris has borrowed the title of the project. Sources also reveal that Retta Thala is Kris’ fresh script and is not a revamped project.

This is the one-liner and the basic idea of the film.” Arun Vijay will be seen in 5 different looks with the actor undergoing a massive physical transformation for the film.
