Another Aavesham? Sathyam Sundaram Director Teams Up with Fahadh!

Director Premkumar, known for emotional films like 96 and Meiyazhagan (Telugu: Sathyam Sundaram), is now moving into action. Fans have been awaiting his film with Chiyaan Vikram, tentatively titled Chiyaan64, announced in July, but that project is still in the writing stage. Premkumar said he needs more time to complete the script.

In the meantime, Premkumar will direct a new action thriller starring Fahadh Faasil. The director has been working on this project for almost four years. Speaking in an interview, he said, “My film with Fahadh will be very different from my previous movies in terms of genre. But it will still have the emotional core that connects with the audience.”

Fahadh reportedly loved the story. “I narrated just 40 minutes, and each scene gave him a different reaction. It was exciting to watch. This will be a direct Tamil film,” Premkumar said.

Producer Ishari Ganesh confirmed the collaboration. “Premkumar is one of the finest directors. I loved 96 and Meiyazhagan. Now we are bringing him together with Fahadh Faasil. It will be another Aavesham. Shooting will start soon,” he said.

Aavesham had reintroduced Fahadh to a wider audience, and similarly, Premkumar’s new film is expected to showcase a new side of the actor. Production is expected to start in January 2026. The story is said to be unique, and the project is produced by VELS.

Fahadh Faasil was last seen in the Malayalam film Odum Kuthira Chaadum Kuthira and is also working on the Mammootty-Mohanlal starrer Patriot while preparing for this Tamil action thriller.
