Kalidas’ Oru Pakka Kathai movie teaser is out

Malayalam actor Jayaram's son Kalidas, who created a flutter with the new Cadbury Dairy Milk ad, will make his debut as a lead actor in the Tamil film Oru Pakka Kathai.

Kalidas had won the National award for best child artist for the film Ente Veedu Appoontem in 2003.

The teaser of his debut film was out a few days ago and it seems like director Balaji Tharaneetharan (of Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom fame) has yet another intriguing film in his hands.

Newcomer Megha Akash has been cast opposite Kalidas.

The film is produced by K S Sreenivasan and is expected to hit the screens in March.
