This is director H Vinoth’s third collaboration with Ajith after ‘Nerkonda Paarvai’ and ‘Valimai’
Ajith Kumar’s much-awaited 61st film, directed by H Vinoth, has been titled Thunivu. The makers released the first look poster of the film today to announce the news.
Reported to be a heist thriller, Thunivu marks the third collaboration between Ajith, Vinoth, producer Boney Kapoor, and cinematographer Nirav Shah. They had earlier collaborated in Nerkonda Paarvai and Valimai.
The film has Manju Warrier playing the female lead. It is noteworthy to mention that Manju had earlier joined Ajith and co. on their bike trip to Ladakh, the pictures of videos of which had taken social media by storm
According to reports, Thunivu also stars Veera, Samuthirakani, GM Sundar, John Kokken, and Ajay. With music scored by Ghibran, Thunivu is produced by Zee Studios in association with Bayview Projects LLP.
Ajith, who was last seen in Valimai, has a film with director Vignesh Shivan in the pipeline.
Sustainability is not an add-on, but stamped firmly into the process: every piece is biodegradable, waste-free and unembellished, free from glitter or beads. “Products should be sustainable and biodegradable so that our planet is not harmed,” says Anu Elizabeth Alexander, a student of Sishya, Adyar. At a recent exhibition, the stars she made sold the fastest, followed by the small diamonds. “I would like people to know about the process, how it is created, and that it is sustainable,” says Anu. Infanta Leon from Kotturpuram developed an interest in crochet as a teenager. It was a hobbyhorse that evolved into a steed that would help her embark on a journey of identity-shaping creative engagement. She started making Christmas-themed decor two years ago, spurred by a desire to craft safe, eco-friendly toys for children. “With a toddler at home, and my elder child sensitive to synthetic materials, I wanted to create items that were gentle, durable and tactile,” she explains. Her earliest creations were small amigurumi toys which gradually evolved into ornaments that could adorn Christmas trees with warmth and charm.
