Arya, who was last seen in a dual act in Magamuni, including playing a major role in Suriya's Kaappaan, in 2019, is at present attached to three big Tamil films that include Teddy, director Pa. Ranjith's period boxing venture Sarpatta Parambarai and the action thriller Enemy, which will see him as the antagonist to Vishal. Among the upcoming projects, Teddy has Arya once again romancing his wife Sayyeshaa after they previously appeared on the big screen in films like Ghajinikanth and Kaappaan. In that light, Teddy directed by Miruthan and Tik Tik Tik fame Shakti Soundar Rajan was announced to be skipping a theatrical release for a direct OTT premiere on the Disney+HotstarVIP from March 12.
An animated film for children, Teddy produced by K. E. Gnanavelraja's Studio Green production has created a lot of buzz of late, with the film's action-packed trailer released last week receiving a phenomenal response, who have been praising the visual graphics that were on display in full flair. Based on the Teddy trailer alone, the film looks to be appealing to the kids and adults as the story primarily revolves around the relationship between Arya and a teddy bear. With promotions already underway, Think Music India, who acquired the film's audio label rights, have now released the much-awaited 'En Iniya Thanimaye' video song that is featured extensively on Arya and his character in the film.
Teddy, which has music by blockbuster composer D. Imman, has delivered an exceptional album, with the 'En Iniya Thanimaye' song sung by Sid Sriram to the lyrics penned by Madhan Karky turning out to be a hit among fans for its breezy tune. According to reports, Teddy is the first Tamil film to make use of an Indian animation company to design the animated character, while also being credited as the second venture from Kollywood to apply motion-capture technology after 'Superstar' Rajinikanth's Kochadaiiyaan.
Apart from Arya and Sayyessha playing the lead pair in Teddy, the film also includes Karunakaran, Sathish, Bigg Boss fame Sakshi Agarwal, 90ML actress Maasoom Shankar, among others in vital supporting roles. Likewise, acclaimed Tamil film director Magizh Thirumeni, known for his Mundhinam Paartheney, Thadaiyara Thaakka, Meaghamann and Thadam, will be seen as the antagonist in the film. Expectations for Teddy are huge and Disney+HotstarVIP will be looking to taste a bigger success than its previous direct Tamil film release, Mookuthi Amman, starring Nayanthara under RJ Balaji's direction, which premiered last year as a Diwali treat.
