Guwahati: Indian cinema is preparing for a groundbreaking experiment with “Singha”, a full-length feature film shot with a real lion.
The ambitious project is produced by V. Mathiyalagan under Etcetera Entertainment in collaboration with Thithir Film House Pvt. Ltd., and is directed by KC Ravithevan, an alumnus of a film institute and former assistant to actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan.

Actress Shrrita Rao, known for her performances in Lenin Pandian and Kumki 2, plays the female lead. While several top actresses reportedly hesitated to perform alongside a lion, Rao embraced the challenge. Adding further thrill, Leesha Eclairs, seen in 1945 and Jawan, plays a negative role involving sequences with 300 wolves.
The film has been shot across exotic locations including Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Zambia, Goa, Tenkasi, and Visakhapatnam. Singha is being planned as a pan-Indian release in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi.
Director Ravithevan said, “This is a challenging film, but we are strictly following all safety protocols. The story is adventurous and global in scale, appealing to audiences of all ages.”
