Music director Thaman S, actor Atharvaa Murali offer prayers at Tirumala Temple
Tirupati, July 10
Music director Thaman S and actor Atharvaa Murali visited Sri Venkateswara Swamy temple at Tirumala to offer prayers on the day of their film's release titled 'Idhayam Murali.'
Dressed in ethnic attire, Thaman S and Atharvaa were seen exiting from the temple after offering their prayers to Lord Venkateswara Swamy.
The Tirumala Venkateswara Temple, situated atop the seventh peak of the Seshachalam Hills, is among India's most revered Hindu shrines. Dedicated to Lord Venkateswara, also known as Balaji, the centuries-old temple draws millions of devotees from across the country and abroad every year.
Atharvaa Murali's Tamil film 'Idhayam Murali' is directed by Aakash Bhaskaran and is produced under the banner of Dawn Pictures.
The film stars Atharvaa in the titular role, Kayadu Lohar and Preity Mukhundhan alongside Natty Subramaniam, Ramki, Thaman S, Niharika NM, Rakshan, Dravid Selvam, Sudhakar and Pragya Nagra.
Fahadh Faasil makes a cameo appearance. The music of the film is composed by Thaman S.
Meanwhile, Thaman S is also set to make his debut in Malayalam cinema with the Suresh Gopi film titled 'Ottakomban'.
Produced by Gokulam Gopalan under the banner of Sree Gokulam Movies, the movie is directed by debutant Mathews Thomas from a script by Shibin Francis.

It's nice that they took time out to visit Tirumala, but I hope the film focuses on good content rather than just relying on blessings for success. Indian audiences are now smart and want meaningful cinema, not just star power.
Tirumala is such a powerful place. Even big stars like these feel the need to seek blessings before a big release. It shows humility. Thaman's music is always top-notch, so looking forward to the film's songs! 🎵
Interesting that Fahadh Faasil is making a cameo in this film. He's a fantastic actor. And Thaman branching out to Malayalam cinema with 'Ottakomban' is exciting. Diverse talents from the South are really connecting across industries now.
Hope the film does well. But I sometimes wonder why every film promotion seems to involve a temple visit. It feels a bit like a publicity stunt these days. Still, I wish them success and hope the movie entertains us. 🙏
Atharvaa is a talented actor and Thaman's music is always a hit. The combination should work well. I'm also curious about 'Ottakomban' – Suresh Gopi and Thaman together will be interesting. All the best to both teams!
