It's official - actor-filmmaker Raghava Lawrence and his younger brother Elviin will be coming together for a project for the first time to be bankrolled by blockbuster producer-distributor S. Kathiresan under his Five Star Creations banner. The film to be directed by Innasi Pandiyan, who made his filmmaking debut in Diary (2022) starring Arulnithi Tamilarasu, is billed to be a"dynamic and powerful" project that will be made on a "massive scale" and include "thunderous action". Five Star Creations shared the news of Raghava Lawrence and Elviin sharing screen space in their new film on Saturday, July 15, in the tentatively titled Production No. 12, which will also feature Telugu actress Vaishali Raj in a pivotal role.
The news of Raghava Lawrence and Elviin sharing screen space in the same film is no doubt the biggest USP and there will be plenty of excitement to witness the siblings in action in the cinemas. It is to be noted that the upcoming venture is not the first occasion Elviin will be taking to the screen as he is set to make his hero debut under iconic Tamil filmmaker K. S. Ravikumar's direction in an untitled film being produced by the hit Trident Arts banner. Both Raghava Lawrence and Elviin previously appeared on the screen when the latter danced in the 'Sillatta Pillatta' song in Kanchana 2 (2015) and the 'Nanbanukku Koila Kattu' song in Kanchana 3 (2019).
