Amrutha Srinivasan, who was applauded for her role in the superhit Mental Madhilo, plays the lead in the movie and will be available for binge watching from July 23rd onwards.
Speaking at the launch event, producer Karthik Subbaraj says,
“Kallachirippu is the first web series from my production house, Stone Bench Productions, and it explores thriller as a genre. The Tamil audience today is seeking more edgy content and hence the web-series formats work brilliantly for us. Given the ZEE Group’s prowess in producing unique content and their wide reach across the country and globally, I am thrilled to make my debut with them.”
Manish Aggarwal, Business Head – ZEE5 India said,
“We have recently strengthened our Tamil content offering, and Kallachirrupu is yet another exciting addition. We have received a phenomenal response from the Tamil-speaking audience all across the world which is indicative of their readiness for content such as ours. I am confident that Kallachirippu will be a benchmark in Tamil digital content history and I am really looking forward to the audience response on this one.”
