Producer
Suraj Sadanah
, who is co-producing
Thambi
, says that working on the film was a lot of fun. Interestingly, he is the brother of Jyotika. The film stars
Karthi,
Jyotika, Sathyaraj and Nikhila Vimal in lead roles, and is directed by
Jeethu Joseph of Papanasam fame.
Says Suraj, "The sets had people from Chennai, Mumbai and Kerala. It was an ensemble. Though there were confusions now and then, it was good fun and we all enjoyed it."
Talking about how things for Thambi fell in place, he reveals, "The narration took place in Mumbai and we were convinced. We then took the idea to Karthi, who was pretty impressed with the script. After Karthi's nod, we thought of bringing Jyotika on board for the project. She agreeing to the project was huge and then, a director like Jeethu Joseph, who had given a blockbuster like Papanasam, was the biggest inclusion in the team. That is how things happened for Thambi."
On producing the film starring his akka as a thambi, Suraj says, "It wasn't a deliberate move. In fact, we didn't know that Thambi will be the title until we finished the shoot of the film. The film ended with the same intent as it started, so the title became apt for the script."
