A Village. A Nest. A 35-Day Sacrifice. Panorama Studios Expands Its Tamil Slate with KOODU in Association with Skymoon Entertainment and Cult Digital

Panorama Studios, under the leadership of producers Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak, announces KOODU, its Tamil film, in association with Skymoon Entertainment, represented by M. Ganesh, and Cult Digital, represented by Suunil Jaiin and Aditya Joshi.

Inspired by an extraordinary true story, the film brings to life a heartwarming tale of compassion, humanity and the remarkable things that can happen when an entire community comes together.

Directed by debutant filmmaker Joyal Vijay, KOODU is an emotionally engaging drama set in a Tamil Nadu village, where a rare species of bird lays its eggs inside an electrical transformer. Faced with an unexpected dilemma, the villagers make an extraordinary choice: they voluntarily give up electricity for 35 days to protect the fragile nest and the lives it holds.

Blending warmth, humour and emotion, KOODU celebrates the spirit of togetherness and the power of collective compassion. Moving beyond conventional notions of heroism, the film shines a light on ordinary people and their extraordinary ability to make a difference.

With its culturally rooted setting and universally relatable emotions, KOODU promises to be an uplifting cinematic experience for audiences across generations.

Shot extensively in authentic village locations, the film features a celebrated ensemble cast of established Tamil actors and acclaimed performers, including VJ Kathirravan, Jayaprakash, Vivek Prasanna, Devika Satheesh, Rachitha Mahalakshmi, Namo Narayana, Sha Ra, Charles Vinod, Anitha Sampath, Sasi Selvaraj, Dravid Selvam, VJ Ashiq and Thana Lakshmi. The music, composed by Manoj Krishna, further enhances its emotional depth and charm.
