Director Prasanth Pandiyaraj, known for his recent work on the film ‘Vilangu’, is set to venture into the digital realm with his upcoming web series titled ‘Lingam’ in collaboration with Hotstar. The series is slated to be a gangster thriller and will feature Kathir, Divya Bharathi, and Poornima Ravi in the lead roles. Drawing inspiration from the real-life novel ‘Lingam’ published by Vikatan, which chronicles the story of a gangster from Kanyakumari, the series promises an intense narrative.
Kathir, who has been making waves in the industry, particularly gained attention for his recent performance in the thriller web series ‘Suzhal: The Vortex’. Having made his breakthrough with ‘Madha Yaanai Koottam’ in 2013, Kathir has since carved a niche for himself by delivering impactful performances in films such as ‘Kirumi’ (2015), ‘Vikram Vedha’ (2017), ‘Pariyerum Perumal’ (2018), and ‘Sigai’ (2019). Renowned for his ability to balance commercial success with artistic experimentation, Kathir’s involvement adds further anticipation to the project.
As production gears up to commence, ‘Lingam’ holds promise as it delves into the gritty underworld of gangsters, fueled by the backdrop of Kanyakumari. With a talented cast and a director known for his knack for storytelling, the series aims to captivate audiences with its blend of suspense, drama, and realism, marking another exciting addition to the digital realm.
