Poster of Tamil film Friendship
Ever since joining the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), veteran off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has been tweeting posts in Tamil. While CSK supporters were overjoyed with the gesture, the story has more to it. It was a precursor to Harbhajan’s impeding acting debut. The former India international cricketer had signed on to appear in a Tamil film titled Friendship.
The film, directed by John Paul Raj and Sham Surya, also features actor Arjun Sarja. And marks the entry of former Sri Lankan news anchor Losliya Mariyanesan in Kollywood. She shot to fame after participating in the third season of popular reality show Bigg Boss Tamil, hosted by Kamal Haasan.
Harbhajan to feature in another film too
While Friendship’s motion poster suggested an August 2020 release for the film. But with theatres being shut due to COVID-19, the release day has been postponed indefinitely. Santha Kumar C has handled the cinematography while music is by DM Udhayakumar. Sham Surya is also the choreographer for the film which is produced by Seantoa and Cinemaass studios.
Friendship is not the only Tamil film Harbhajan will be seen in. He is also set to play a character in the upcoming Santhanam film, Dikkilona. The movie which will be directed by Karthik Yogi was first taunted to be Harbhajan’s debut film. Another former Indian cricketer, Irfan Pathan, too is set to make his debut with the Ajay Gnanamuthu film, Cobra, that stars actor Vikram in the lead. Earlier this month, the trailer of Cobra was revealed and was received by the audience.
