Director Kishore Rajkumar Turns Lead Actor in His Upcoming Romantic Comedy, Co-Starring Anna Ben
Chennai | July 11, 2025 — Filmmaker Kishore Rajkumar, best known for directing the 2022 comedy "Naai Sekar", is all set to wear multiple hats in his upcoming project — as the writer, director, and lead actor in a yet-to-be-titled romantic comedy family drama. The film is produced under the banner of Noise and Grains, marking the media company’s entry into the film production space.
The project will feature acclaimed Malayalam actress Anna Ben in the female lead role, adding to the film’s excitement. Anna previously made waves in Tamil cinema with her performance in "Kottukkaali."
Kishore Rajkumar’s Multifaceted Leap
Kishore, who has previously showcased his directorial prowess in Naai Sekar and acting chops in supporting roles in films such as Comali, Kaithi, VIP 2, and Imaikkaa Nodigal, is now stepping into the spotlight as a full-fledged leading man.
Sharing his thoughts on the transition, Kishore said:
“This is a story filled with romance and humour. The screenplay is crafted to deliver a complete feel-good experience. Film lovers often say that movies like those once made by K. Bhagyaraj sir are no longer seen today — this film is my attempt to fill that nostalgic gap.”
He further highlighted that the film revolves around compatibility in modern relationships, with a strong female lead at the centre of the narrative.
“I am thrilled to be working with the incredibly talented Anna Ben. I sincerely thank Noise and Grains for trusting me with this opportunity and supporting my vision,” he added.
Backed by a Solid Technical Team
The film is being bankrolled by Karthik Srinivas and Mahaveer Ashok of Noise and Grains, a well-known media production and talent management company. With their debut in film production, they aim to support fresh content rooted in emotion, humour, and modern relevance.
Cinematography and co-writing are handled by Praveen Balu, a frequent collaborator of Kishore. Editing is managed by Ram Pandian, who also worked on Naai Sekar. The art direction is led by SriSasikumar K, while Kiruthikha Sekar is in charge of costumes. S N Asraf and Naresh Dinakaran serve as executive producers.
Anna Ben's Tamil Journey Continues
Anna Ben, known for her impressive performances in Malayalam films such as Kappela and Helen, continues her journey in Tamil cinema with this project. Her grounded yet emotionally resonant acting style aligns perfectly with Kishore’s vision for a feel-good romantic drama.
A Promising Blend of Humour and Heart
While the film’s title is yet to be revealed, early insights suggest a romantic comedy that blends old-school emotional charm with contemporary relationship dynamics, something that audiences across generations can relate to. The makers have hinted at a theatrical release in early 2026.
With Kishore Rajkumar’s creative vision, Anna Ben’s powerful presence, and a technically strong crew, this upcoming project is poised to be one of the most anticipated rom-coms from Tamil cinema in the coming year.
Final Thoughts
Kishore Rajkumar’s next film promises a return to simple, heartfelt storytelling, with humour and love at its core. As he transitions from behind the camera to lead actor, fans and film buffs alike are eager to see how this director-turned-hero fares on screen.
