Anupama Parameswaran is all set to headline a psychological thriller backed by the makers of acclaimed films like ‘Rustom’, ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’, ‘Pad Man’, and ‘Pari’.The yet-to-be-titled film, directed by Shaan is touted to be a gripping psychological thriller. Anupama Parameswaran had earlier collaborated with the director for a short film, which was highly successful. The makers announced the film on Wednesday, February 18, on the occasion of Anupama Parameswaran’s birthday. “Collaborating with Anupama Parameswaran on this film feels incredibly special. She brings with her a calm confidence, emotional honesty, and a deep understanding of characters that resonate across regions. I’ve admired the way she connects with audiences in multiple languages, and this project gives us the perfect canvas to explore her strength as a performer. I’m genuinely excited to have her lead this film and to begin this creative journey together,” the makers said in a statement.The film is set to go on floors in May 2026. More details about the cast and crew are currently under wraps. On the professional front, Anupama Parameswaran was last seen in ‘Lockdown’. Starring Anupama Parameswaran, the Tamil film revolves around Anitha, the eldest daughter, whose life is turned upside down after a traumatic incident, further worsened by the COVID lockdown.TOI ranked the film 2 out of 5, and the review reads, “Lockdown is a confusing film. The film isn’t entirely sloppy without any heart. The sensitivity and the cautiousness with which the camera captures certain disturbing scenes aren’t reflected in the screenplay.”Anupama’s last year’s release, ‘Bison Kaalamaadan’ helmed by Mari Selvaraj, starring Dhruv Vikram, received rave reviews. Anupama’s performance was also lauded. “When I said Bison was beyond cinema, this is what I meant. It was a journey through the soil, the people, and the spirit of a place that changed something in me. Every day felt like a workshop- learning, unlearning, and living among stories that breathe truth. Thank you, Mari sir, for letting me be a small part of your world, where cinema feels like life itself,” Anupama Parameswaran said, in a post shared on Instagram earlier.
