Debutant director Ridhun Sagar says his upcoming Tamil film "Thudi", which revolves around five key characters, is an edge-of-the-seat thriller that doesn't feature a hero. Actress Abhinaya plays one of the leads.
"The story takes place between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. the next day. It takes place inside a five-star hotel and it doesn't feature a hero per se. There are five important characters and the plot revolves around them," Sagar said in a statement.
Abhinaya will be seen as a receptionist in the movie.
"Her character is very important and she moves the story forward. She's not paired with anyone and carries most of the film on her shoulders," he said.
The team is in talks with a popular actor to play an important character.
