### Malayalam Cinema's Acclaimed Director Chidambaram to Enter Hindi Film Industry

Acclaimed Malayalam cinema director Chidambaram is set to make his debut in the Hindi film industry with an exciting new project in collaboration with Phantom Studios. Srishti Behl, CEO of Phantom Studios, officially announced this partnership, marking a significant step for both the director and the production company into new creative territories.

Chidambaram, known for his exceptional direction in Malayalam cinema, is eager to leave his mark on the Hindi film industry. The young director gained acclaim for his work on 'Manjummel Boys,' which was both a critical and commercial success. Reports indicate that the film had a strong opening at the box office with earnings of ₹3.3 crores and eventually broke several box office records with a lifetime collection of ₹242.3 crores. Produced on a budget of ₹20 crores, 'Manjummel Boys' became the first Malayalam film to gross over ₹200 crores, surpassing the record set in 2018, and emerged as one of the highest-grossing Indian films of 2024.

Expressing her excitement about the collaboration, Srishti Behl stated, "We are thrilled to welcome Chidambaram to the Phantom family. At Phantom Studios, we have always focused on creativity and empowering directors to do their best work. In this new era, where filmmakers are not confined by language barriers, our goal is to bring unique voices from various regions to Hindi cinema. We aim to create stories that transcend linguistic boundaries."

Chidambaram shared his enthusiasm about his Hindi film debut, saying, "I am genuinely excited to step into mainstream Hindi cinema. While 'Manjummel Boys' will always hold a special place, I am honored and delighted to partner with Phantom Studios for my first Hindi feature film. This is an opportunity to explore new stories and connect with a wider audience, while staying true to the storytelling approach that defines my work."
