Actor–director Umapathy Ramaiah, who impressed audiences with his directorial film Raja Kili that won great acclaims on OTT is back with his second outing and collaboration with Thambi Ramaiah. The project, produced by Kannan Ravi Groups in association with Gantaraa Studios, was officially launched today (October 3, 2025) with a traditional pooja ceremony. Tentatively titled Production No. 6, the film promises to be a political satire laced with humour and entertainment.

The film features Natty Subramaniam in the lead role, alongside a powerhouse ensemble including Thambi Ramaiah, Shrrita Rao, Chandini Tamilarasan, Viji Chandrasekar, Vadivukkarasi, Ilavarasu, M.S. Bhaskar, Kingsley, John Vijay, Aadukalam Naren, VJ Andrews, Sathyan,Jawa Sunderasan (Chaams), Kingkong, Devi Magesh, and many others. This marks the first-ever collaboration between Natty Subramaniam and Thambi Ramaiah, which in turn is expected to be the major crowd-pulling factor.

Producer Kannan Ravi says, “This film is a political satire that reflects contemporary situations with humour. Umapathy has already proved his versatility as a filmmaker, and when he narrated this script, it was instantly engrossing. Natty Subramaniam has emerged as a content-driven star and a producer-friendly actor, ensuring strong trade reception. It is an honour to work with National Award winners like Thambi Ramaiah and M.S. Bhaskar, along with such a talented cast. We are delighted to begin this journey today.”

Director Umapathy Ramaiah says, “It’s a privilege to collaborate with Kannan Ravi, whose passion for cinema makes him a true asset to the industry. This film will be an entertainer rooted in realism and humour. It’s great to have Natty sir playing the protagonist. Just a few minutes into the narration, he instantly agreed to do this film, which gave me immense satisfaction and a sense of responsibility to materialise the film as narrated. We have begun the shoot and are working towards wrapping it at the earliest.”

A unique highlight of this project is the father–son collaboration: Thambi Ramaiah has penned the story and dialogues, while Umapathy directs.
