Mithila Palkar is making her Tamil debut with “Oho Enthan Baby†and its first single “Natchathira†has been unveiled. The actress said that learning and performing in a completely new language were one such challenge she had never imagined that she would take up.
Mithila says, "As an actor, I always strive to do things that push me beyond my comfort zone, that help me grow not just professionally but personally. Learning and performing in a completely new language were one such challenge I never imagined I would take up but here I am, doing my debut Tamil film. It's been overwhelming, but so incredibly fulfilling.â€
Mithila, who is known for ‘Little Things’, ‘Karwaan’ and ‘Chopsticks’, said that she has had the opportunity to work in Hindi and Marathi.
She added: “Recently explored Telugu through my first web series, and now stepping into Tamil cinema with Oho Enthan Baby feels like a big and beautiful leap. As artists, it's all about pushing boundaries and discovering newer versions of ourselves."
Starring Mithila and actor Rudra in lead roles, “Oho Enthan Babyâ€. The film hits the theatres on 11 July.
The poster of her Tamil debut ‘Oho Enthan Baby’ was unveiled in May. The poster showed the actress dressed in a red outfit, as she looked down to pose for the camera held by the film’s male lead, Rudra.
Directed by Krishnakumar Ramakumar, the Tamil rom-com is expected to bring a fresh and quirky take on love and relationships The poster hints at a breezy, feel-good vibe promising laughter, chemistry, and heart.
Earlier in February this year, Mithila wrapped up the shooting of ‘Oho Enthan Baby’, and said that this “journey has been truly special, not just because it’s my first Tamil film, but also because of the incredible people I got to work withâ€.
“Learning my lines in Tamil was definitely a challenge, but I absolutely enjoyed every bit of it. My co-star Rudra, my director Krishnakumar Ramakumar, and the entire cast and crew made me feel so welcomed and at home, even though I don’t speak the language.â€
She added: “Their constant support and warmth made the process so much smoother and even more enjoyable.â€

So proud of Mithila for taking this bold step! As someone who grew up watching Tamil films in Chennai, I know how challenging the language can be. Her dedication is inspiring. Can't wait to see how she brings her signature charm to Kollywood! 💫
This is why I admire Mithila - always pushing boundaries. From Marathi to Hindi to now Tamil, she's truly representing the multilingual spirit of India. More power to artists who bridge regional cinema divides!
While I appreciate her effort, I hope she's worked really hard on the pronunciation. Nothing breaks immersion more than actors struggling with the language. Fingers crossed she's done justice to Tamil!
As a Tamilian, I'm excited to see fresh faces in our industry! Mithila has that girl-next-door vibe that will connect well with our audience. The poster looks fun - hope the movie lives up to the hype. Nalla irukku! ðŸ‘
Mithila's journey from YouTube to now pan-India projects is what dreams are made of! Her humility while taking on new challenges is so refreshing. More actors should take inspiration from her professional growth.
Interesting move! But I wonder if this is just a one-off or if she plans to do more South Indian films. Would love to see her in Malayalam cinema too - their scripts are so content-driven. Either way, wishing her the best!
