Mundasupatti is a 2014 Indian Tamil-language historical comedy film written and directed by Ram Kumar, and produced by C. V. Kumar under his banner Thirukumaran Entertainment and Fox Star Studios. It stars Vishnu Vishal and Nandita Swetha, with Anandaraj, Kaali Venkat and Ramdoss in supporting roles. The film is set in 1982 in a village where people believe bad luck will befall them if they are photographed. The story illustrates what happens when two photographers visit the village.

Production

Ram Kumar had shot about 10 short films for the reality series Naalaya Iyakkunar, including Mundasupatti (2011). When Kadhalil Sodhappuvadhu Yeppadi (2012), based on a short film released, he said he was inspired to make his own film. He took a year off to work on the script and to select his actors.

Vishnu Vishal was cast in the lead role, as the director wanted "someone who is funny, but very subtly so". Vishal, who had till then mainly played characters that were emotional, felt it was "very refreshing" to attempt a full-length comedy role, and added that "for the first time, I could relate to my character".

Ramdoss, previously seen in small roles, was given the role of Munishkanth, an aspiring actor; according to him, the role gave him "a lot of scope for acting". Ramdoss previously voiced the character in the short film because the actor who played Munishkanth was unable to commit to dubbing; after the feature film's release, "Munishkanth" became Ramdoss's stage name. Principal photography began on 28 August 2013, and wrapped by October 2013.
