Chennai, April 2 (IANS) The makers of director Umapathi Ramaiah’s upcoming film ‘TN 2026’, featuring actor Natty in the lead, on Thursday released an entertaining teaser of the political satire, much to the delight of fans and film buffs.
Taking to its X timeline, Kannan Ravi Groups, the production house producing the film, wrote, “Indha Varusham Nammadhaan (This year belongs to us!) #TN2026 teaser is out now. Yaar Manadhaiyum Pun Paduthuvadharku Alla (Not meant to hurt the feelings of anyone!) #ThangaNatchathiram #TN2026FromApril10. Produced by #KannanRavi @KRGOffl. Co-produced by #DeepakRavi. A @umapathyramaiah film. A @DarbukaSiva musical.”
The film’s teaser opens with an announcement that popular star Thanga Natchathiram Kulkanth Kumar (played by Natty), who is considered to be the number one star at the Tamil box office, has converted his fan club into a people’s welfare association.
While the actor’s move to enter politics thrills his fans, it displeases rival parties and politicians, with one politician (played by Redin Kingsley) asking in a rally, “Hey actor, this is Tamil Nadu. You can wish to live. That’s okay. But you intend to rule. Is that not wrong?”
The teaser shows Golden Star Kulkanth Kumar’s rise in politics. One of Kulkanth Kumar’s supporters is shown retorting to a mediaperson, “Why shouldn’t we talk politics? Don’t actors know politics?”
On the whole, the teaser promises an engaging and entertaining political drama.
The film is slated to hit screens on April 10 this year.
