Actress Komalee Prasad is stepping into Tamil cinema with a new film titled Mandavetti, and it looks like a bold move in her career. The project is a female-driven supernatural crime thriller, and Komalee has shared that it’s a film very close to her heart. While the team is keeping key details secret for now, she has already reached out to audiences asking for their support and good wishes.
The film is directed by Saranraj Senthilkumar and produced by Tuskers Den Pictures. Shooting began after a traditional pooja ceremony, and the team is currently filming in Usilampatti in the Madurai district. The makers are aiming for a story that feels raw, performance-oriented, and emotionally intense.
At its core, Mandavetti is said to mix mysticism with grounded human drama. The story is told largely from a woman’s perspective and deals with themes like loss, identity, and survival. Komalee reportedly carries the film on her shoulders, with the narrative closely tied to her character’s inner world.
Saranraj, who earlier directed Vella Kuthira, is known for focusing on mood and psychological depth rather than flashy spectacle. His style leans toward subtle tension, atmosphere, and layered characters, and Mandavetti is expected to follow that path, using supernatural elements to deepen the emotional impact rather than just to thrill.
The supporting cast features Thenappan, Gajaraj, and Amritha. Behind the scenes, the crew includes cinematographer Prakash, editor Kuna, music composer Deepak Venugopal, and stunt choreographer Gowthama team focused on craft and detail.
For Komalee, this Tamil debut feels like a natural next step. She has built a reputation in Telugu films such as Napoleon, Rowdy Boys, Sebastian P.C. 524, HIT: The Second Case, HIT: The Third Case, and Sasivadane. She’s also been appreciated in the OTT space with shows like Loser on ZEE5, Modern Love Hyderabad on Amazon Prime Video, and Touch Me Not on JioHotstar.
Known for choosing roles with emotional depth, Komalee often brings a quiet intensity to her performances. With Mandavetti, she isn’t just making a language shiftshe’s taking on a challenging, central role that could showcase a new side of her as an actor.
If the early buzz is anything to go by, Mandavetti could turn out to be a refreshing addition to Tamil genre films, especially for viewers who enjoy character-driven thrillers with a supernatural edge. More updates from the team are expected as filming continues.
