The release of Thekku Vadakku, starring Vinayakan and Suraj Venjaramoodu, has been rescheduled from September 20 to October 4. Directed by Prem Sankar, known for his previous work Randuper, which was featured in the 2017 International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK), Thekku Vadakku explores the story of an "unconventional relationship" between its two main characters.
Vinayakan plays Madhavan, a retired KSEB engineer, while Suraj portrays Shankunni, a sawmill owner. The film’s script is written by S Hareesh, based on his story Rathri Kaaval. Hareesh, an acclaimed writer, has previously scripted Lijo Jose Pellissery’s notable films such as Jallikattu (2019), Churuli (2021), and Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam (2022).
The supporting cast includes Kottayam Ramesh, Merin Jose, Melvin G Babu, Shameer Khan, Vineeth Vishwam, Sneha, and Sheethal. The film’s technical team features Sam CS as the music director, Suresh Rajan as the cinematographer, and Kiran Das as the editor. Thekku Vadakku is produced by Anjana Talkies in association with VARS Studios, led by Odiyan director V A Shrikumar.
Suraj Venjaramoodu’s upcoming projects include his maiden production ED - Extra Decent, along with films like Padakkalam, Narivetta, and his Tamil debut Veera Dheera Sooran, starring Vikram. Meanwhile, Vinayakan was last seen in Kasargold (2023).
The delay has only heightened anticipation for Thekku Vadakku, with audiences eager to see the unique relationship dynamic between Vinayakan and Suraj's characters come to life on screen.
