Director Gautham Menon has been a synonymous name with quality cinema and has pushed the levels of Tamil cinema higher.

Photon Kathas, the production wing set up by Gautham Menon has been on the hunt for scripts that are different. With this as the objective, Team Photon Kathas is producing Thanga Meengal.

Director Ram, who got noticed for Kattradhu Thamizh, plays the male lead in Thanga Meengal apart from being the director, a part he won for his soulful storytelling to Gautham and team. 

The film dwells on the delicate yet beautiful relationship between a father and a daughter, in a totally unseen light.

"The music of the film by Yuvan Shankar Raja will surely enthrall audiences. An anthem which has been created for children, will make parents and the society at large sit up and take notice as it dwells into the realms of the current education system, examinations and teachers' lives. This would definitely be the anthem for all school children," says Ram.
