The teaser of the film was released on Saturday by veteran actor Kamal Haasan, who is also Siddharth’s co-star in the upcoming Indian 2.
The teaser of ‘Chithha’ gives a glimpse of the plot, which revolves around the relationship between a little girl and her chithappa (paternal uncle), played by Siddharth. The film is said to be a relationship drama that turns into a thriller, as the uncle and niece face some unexpected challenges.

The film is produced by Siddharth’s own banner Etaki Entertainment, which has earlier produced films like Kaadhalil Sodhappuvadhu Yeppadi, Jil Jung Juk, and Aval. The film has music by Dhibu Ninan Thomas and Vishal Chandrasekhar, cinematography by Balaji Subramanyam, and editing by Suresh A Prasad. The film will be released by Red Giant Movies in multiple languages across South India.
‘Chithha’ is slated to hit the screens on September 28. The cast and crew details of the film are yet to be announced. The film marks the fourth collaboration between Siddharth and SU Arun Kumar, who have earlier worked together in short films like Kadhalil Sodhappuvadhu Eppadi and Kaatchi Pizhai.
