Tamil humanoid entertainer 'Koogle Kuttappa' to hit the screens on May 6

One-of-a-kind Tamil comedy-drama, ‘Koogle Kuttappa’ will release across theatres on May 6. Ace film-maker K S Ravikumar, who is credited with several blockbuster Tamil films, will be seen playing the lead in the film that has been dubbed as a ‘humanoid’ entertainer. The movie also stars Tharshan and Losliya in key roles.

The film is an official remake of the critically acclaimed Malayalam film ‘Android Kunjappan Version 5.35’ a comedy-drama chronicling the life of an old man who develops a strong bond with a humanoid nurse. The robotic nurse has been sent by his son to take care of his father.

Although 'Koogle Kuttappa' is the Tamil remake of the Malayalam film, sources say that the makers have altered some parts of the story to make it suitable for the Tamil audiences.

In the Malayalam version, while the old man's daughter-in-law is half-Japanese, in the Tamil version the daughter-in-law's character is a Sri Lankan Tamil.

Both the directors who have directed 'Koogle Kuttappa' are actually Ravi Kumar's assistant directors and director K S Ravikumar has disclosed that he chose to get into film production after almost a period of 20 years with this film for their sake.

The film has music by Ghibran and cinematography by Aravind. Apart from K S Ravikumar, Tharshan and Losliya, the film also features Yogi Babu in a pivotal role.
