Pathu Thala (transl. Ten-Headed) is a 2023 Indian Tamil-language neo-noir action thriller film directed by Obeli N. Krishna and produced by Studio Green, in the company of Pen Studios. The film stars Silambarasan in the lead role, alongside Gautham Karthik, Priya Bhavani Shankar, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Santhosh Prathap, Kalaiyarasan, Anu Sithara and Teejay Arunasalam. It is a remake of the 2017 Kannada-language film Mufti. The film follows AG Ravanan "AGR", a crime boss, who gets tracked down by Guna, an undercover cop as Sakthivel.
The Tamil remake of Mufti was announced in June 2019, with Narthan, the director of the original film, as the director. Principal photography faced postponement due to Silambarasan delaying the commencement. Which led to, the following year in October, Narthan opting out and subsequently being replaced with Krishna. Principal photography commenced in August 2021. It was shot sporadically in several legs and wrapped by late-November 2022. Filming locations included Chennai and Karnataka. The film has music composed by A. R. Rahman, cinematography handled by Farook J. Basha and editing by Praveen K. L.
Pathu Thala was released on 30 March 2023. It's received mixed reviews from critics.[2] The film grossed ₹55 crore at the box office making it a commercial success.[1]
