Raghu Thatha’s another glimpse 

The promo shared by Hombale Films on Instagram opens with a blackboard which reads “Hindi word of the day” and below it, it is written “Pariksha (Exam)” Then a woman in a yellow saree enters the frame and erases the words Pariksha and Hindi. The woman seemingly is Keerthy Suresh. The title of the film, Raghu Thatha appears on the screen.

“Kayalvizhi is all set to make you laugh, win your hearts, and start a revolution. Get ready for #Raghuthatha! Coming soon to a cinema near you,” the caption of the post read.

Raghu Thatha’s first glimpse

Earlier, the team had shared the first glimpse of Raghu Thatha with a promo which features a vintage-looking cinema poster of Keerthy in a half-saree look. Just like the golden days, the poster was being carried through a busy market as a marketing gimmick. 

The narrator is heard saying, "Ladies, gentlemen, and fans of cinema... Hombale Films proudly presents... Raghuthatha, a feature film."
Directed by Suman Kumar, Raghuthatha also stars MS Bhaskar, Devadarshini, Ravindra Vijay, Anandsami and Rajesh Balakrishnan in the key roles. Sean Roldan is composing the music for the film, while Yamini Yagnamurthy is handling the camera. 

The title of the film Raghu Thatha is inspired by the popular comedy sequence from Bhagyaraj’s Indru Poi Naalai Vaa. The scene involves a Hindi teacher trying to teach a sentence. The reluctant and spoiled students keep repeating the sentence as Raghu Thatha which in Tamil means Raghu's grandfather. The sequence has remained a hit till now.
