G V Prakash's 'Immortal' shooting wrapped up
Chennai, May 19
The makers of director Mariyappan Chinna's horror thriller 'Immortal', featuring actors G V Prakash and Kayadu Lohar in the lead, have now announced that shooting for the film had been wrapped up.
Taking to his X timeline, G V Prakash posted a video clip showing the entire unit celebrating the wrapping up of shooting and wrote, "It's a wrap for #immortal .... Releasing in theatres soon... @11Lohar @DirMari_Chinna @thinkmusicindia @AKfilmfactory @sherif_choreo @arun_kumaroffl @Arunkrishna_21."
Sources had said that the makers were initially intending to release the film in May this year.
The film has been eagerly awaited ever since the makers released a chilling and entertaining teaser of the film last year.
Sharing the teaser on his X timeline, G V Prakash Kumar had then said, "Here is #Immortal teaser for all of u ... the mystery world unveils now .. @11Lohar @AKfilmfactory #maarichinna."
The teaser begins on a funny romantic note. It has G V Prakash, who is a die hard romantic, having a conversation with a friend. He says, "Imagine how it would be if a handsome guy like me and a very beautiful girl stayed in the same house." The friend replies, "It would be jealousy-inducing." To this, G V Prakash gleefully says, "It must."
The teaser then shows G V Prakash having a conversation with actress Kayadu Lohar in a flat that looks exactly like the one he was seen talking about a while ago to his friend.
"If I ask you something, will you mistake me," he asks her and she shoots back, saying, "You will anyway ask something that is wrong."
The teaser makes it evident that G V Prakash's character in the film is romantically interested in the character that Kayadu Lohar plays. He tells her, "My room has a lot of mosquito problems" to which she replies, "Mine has problems caused by bats. Is it alright?"
It is then that the horror phase starts. He wakes up in the middle of the night and looks through the keyhole, only to find a beast with the face of a bat!
The film, apart from G V Prakash Kumar and Kayadu Lohar, also features a host of actors including TM Karthik, Kumar Natarajan, Lollu Sabha Maaran, Aaditya Kathir, Arshu Maharjan, Pema Tsamchoe and Sunita Shrestha.
On the technical front, the film, which has been produced by Arunkumar Dhanasekaran, has cinematography by Arun Radhakrishnan and music by Sam CS. Editing for the film is by San Lokesh while art direction is by Siva Sankar. Stunts for the film have been choreographed by R.Sakthi Saravanan while dances have been choreographed by Sabarish.

Finally some fresh content from Kollywood! The horror genre has been lacking lately, and this looks promising. Love that they're blending romance and horror – reminds me of the old Tamil ghost stories but with modern production values. Kayadu Lohar seems like a good find. Can't wait to see it on the big screen! 🎬👻
G V Prakash has been evolving as an actor – from music to acting, he's doing it all. But I'm a bit skeptical about horror comedies; sometimes they lose the horror element in trying to be funny. The teaser did balance both well though. Let's hope Mariyappan Chinna delivers a tight screenplay.
The bat-faced beast concept is so unique! Usually it's ghosts or zombies, but this feels like a fresh take on folklore. The production team looks solid – Sam CS for music is always a treat. Fingers crossed that the release is smooth; too many films get stuck in distribution issues these days.
Not sure about this one. G V Prakash's previous horror film didn't do well critically. The teaser had some cringe dialogue too – "handsome guy like me" felt forced. But I'll give it a chance because the technical team is impressive. Horror needs good cinematography and sound design, and Arun Radhakrishnan (cinematographer) is known for that. Let's wait and watch.
As someone who doesn't speak Tamil but enjoys Indian cinema, this looks intriguing. The horror element with the bat face is genuinely creepy. The
