Kavin’s next is Bloody Beggar

Kavin, who is one of the most promising young actors in the Tamil film industry, announced on Friday that he is part of a new project. Titled Bloody Beggar, the makers released a video in the typical Nelson style of shooting a fun-filled promo. It is to be noted that Kavin and Nelson Dilipkumar share a rapport and the former has also worked as an assistant director on the sets of the Vijay-starrer Beast.

The promo shows Nelson, Kavin and Sivabalan sitting around a table when Redin Kinglsey comes in and initiates the topic of a new film directed by Sivabalan. Redin suggests that Nelson produce it and we see the director and actor preparing a look for Kavin. Finally, we see Kavin as a disheveled beggar. Bloody Beggar will be shot by cinematographer Sujith Sarang, with Jen Martin scoring the music. R. Nirmal is the editor.

Announcing his new film, Kavin penned an emotional note and wrote, “This project is more than just a film—it's a union of my closest confidants. Sivabalan :) Our journey from discussing stories everywhere, from teashops to roads and beyond. From storytelling sessions to making movies, it feels surreal.” Kavin also thanked Nelson for the opportunity.
