Chennai, March 30 – The makers of director Vignesh Vadivel's bilingual comedy entertainer, "Raawadi," which features Malayalam actor Basil Joseph and Tamil actor L K Akshay Kumar in the lead roles, have now announced that the filming for the movie has been completed.
The production house, Seven Screen Studio, made the announcement on its social media accounts.
It wrote, "The shooting for #Raawadi is complete. Summer 2026. Starring: @basiljoseph25 @lk_akshaykumar @JafferJiky @NobleJames @meshariqhassan7 @chaleswaran #AishwaryaSharma."
Produced by S.S. Lalit Kumar of Seven Screen Studio, the film is being made simultaneously in Tamil and Malayalam, under the same title.
A teaser released by the makers earlier shows Basil Joseph playing a character named Abbas in the film, while L K Akshay plays a character named Prabhu in the full-fledged entertainer.
The teaser makes it clear that the story is set in a college, where Prabhu, who is a senior, is in charge. From allocating "contracts" to supply liquor to the college hostel block to rallying his group in a mob fight, Prabhu plays a crucial role.
Prabhu's gang includes characters like Kicha (Noble K James), who believes that they are a group of bad people and that only bad dreams will come to bad people, Jolly Joseph (Jaffer Sadiq), a funny student who is trying to make a bomb, and Udhaya (Arunchaleswaran), a kind-hearted, spiritual person who is trying hard to fit into the gang.
It is in this situation that Abbas arrives at the college, and a problem erupts within the gang. While one half of the gang believes that Abbas will be able to solve the problem, Prabhu believes that Abbas himself is the cause of the problem...
"Raawadi," which marks the directorial debut of Vignesh Vadivel, also features John Vijay, Sathyan, Shariq Hassan, and actress Aishwarya Sharma, among others.
On the technical front, the film has cinematography by Leon Britto and music by Jen Martin. Editing is being done by Barath Vikraman, and art direction is being overseen by P. S. Hariharan.
Priya has served as the costume designer, with K. Arun and Manikandan serving as executive producers.
