‘Thoovaanam’ is the joint directorial venture of S. Haricharan and Newton who promises novelty with their latest undertaking. This film falls into the unusual class of Tamil films that portray self-assertive and self-conscious girls as ordinary regular beings. This film cast two new faces, Adithya and Naethra in lead roles. National award winner for cinematography Madhu Ambat handles the camera work. Sri Vaishnavi Productions along with Sree Veeramathi Productions produces this love story that claims to be different from the rest.

Talking about his latest venture Ambat says,  “When the director duo Haricharan-Newton approached me to work in the film, I was initially reluctant. However after listening to the storyline, I decided not to let go the opportunity”.

This is the story of a young architect Karthi (Adithya) who falls in love with a US returned girl, Anu (Netra). Karthi who falls in love with her at the very first sight, misreads her casual demeanor towards as love and hence he is shattered when he has to face a refusal.

He is so badly jittered by the denial that he almost tries to kill himself but is luckily saved by his friends. Crestfallen, Karthi decides to move to Bangalore and slowly try to come to terms with the bitter reality.

But the tale takes a twirl when Anu is forced by all her near and dear ones to accept Karthi’s love. But the tale shifts to a different track when Karthi tries to avenge his pain by trying to demean her. But this self-assertive girl turns the table by outwitting him in his own game.

This film marks the entry of two new directors, Haricharan and Newton in the film world.
Apart from two fresh faces the film also cast Sriman and Bhanuchander in exceptional roles. Mauryaa, Tusharaa, Lakshmi, Ponnumani and Suraj are cast in other important roles. One of Malluwood’s noted musicians, Isaac Thomas arranges the soundtrack.

While briefing on his debut film Haricharan utters, “It is a love story. But the difference is in the way how the emotion shared between the hero and the heroine affects a wide circle of people”. Continuing with his dialogue he adds, “We have deviated from commercial cliches and were actually apprehensive when the film went for censor. But we have been rewarded with a positive feedback.”

Haricharan further says, “Two of the hero's friends in the film were made to work at Burma Bazaar for almost three months to get the spoken and body language right for the film.  In fact, all the characters went through intensive rehearsals to prepare and perfect them for their respective roles.”
