豆知識

Mookuthi Amman is a 2020 Indian Tamil-language fantasy comedy film written and directed by RJ Balaji in his directorial debut. Co-directed by N. J. Saravanan and produced by Ishari K. Ganesh, the film stars Nayanthara and Balaji, with Urvashi, Smruthi Venkat, Madhu Mailankody, Abinaya, Moulee and Ajay Ghosh in supporting roles. It revolves around a news anchor collaborating with the title character, a goddess, to expose a godman's fraudulence.

Production

After completing work on LKG (2019), RJ Balaji wanted his next film to be something like the Hindi films OMG – Oh My God! (2012) and PK (2014), "a film with a message in it but very relevant to the time we live in". He initially wanted to remake PK in Tamil but later decided against doing so since the remake rights equalled his entire budget.

Balaji initially wanted an established actress like Anushka Shetty or Nayanthara to portray the title character, but did not approach them. He then narrated the story to Shruti Haasan, who liked it and said she would do the role. However, when Nayanthara called Balaji and liked the story he narrated to her, she agreed and was signed on.

Principal photography began in November 2019 at Nagercoil, although Nayanthara joined the sets only in December. Filming also took place in Kanyakumari, and wrapped in February 2020. Separate scenes involving Gautham Karthik and Manobala were shot but not included in the final cut.
