Context
Why does this story matter?
In the recent times, Thomas has delivered stellar performances in Minnal Murali, Naradan, and Virus. Meanwhile, Priyadarshan is a fairly young actor having debuted only in 2017 with Hello. But, she has worked with the likes of Malayalam stars Prithviraj Sukumaran, Mohanlal, and Tamil actor like Silambarasan, among others. So, Thallumaala being their maiden film together makes it one of the highly anticipated projects.
