A new entry from the MGR clan

MGR’s grandson, who shares his name — Ramachandran — with his legendary thattha, is debuting with the movie Odu Kumar Odu, which was launched in a simple manner at the late Chief Minister’s famous estate Ramavaram Thottam, with Vijay Sethupathi unveiling the first look.

In this road thriller, Ramachandran plays the lead protagonist and two new girls are featured opposite him.

Talking about his role, Ramachandran says, “People can connect with the script of Odu Kumar Odu by director Shivashankar Mani, as it is very much relevant in today’s scenario. It’s about an IT couple whose life turns topsy-turvy when a mishap occurs. Under mysterious circumstances, the wife is murdered and the blame falls on the innocent husband. How he escapes from the scenario and proves his innocence forms the rest of the movie.”

He adds, “I underwent rigorous fitness regime and workouts to shed 10 kilos for my role. The story unravels in Chennai, Bengaluru and Goa.”
