Another Blockbuster Director Surprises All With Acting Debut

Abhishan Jeevinth, who surprised everyone with the success of Tourist Family, is back, but not the way you’d expect. The man behind the ₹100 crore Tamil hit is now stepping in front of the camera. His next film is titled Corrected Machi, and instead of directing, Abhishan will take the lead as the hero. The news has already started making rounds, especially because this wasn’t a move anyone saw coming.

While Abhishan did appear in a short role in Tourist Family, no one expected that moment to turn into something bigger. Now, he’s gearing up for a full-length role, and the response has been curious, if not excited. Directing duties this time will go to Abhishan Sacharudu, who worked with him on Tourist Family as a co-director. It’s still early days, but the project is moving, and an official announcement seems just around the corner.

Joining him is Anaswara Rajan, known for her roles in Super Sharanya, Thugs, and Pinkili. Her presence adds weight, and it looks like this film may blend regional strengths in a fresh way. The plot is still under wraps, but the idea of a hit director stepping out as a lead has caught attention more than any teaser could.

There’s no promotional noise yet, just a shift that feels deliberate and personal. Abhishan’s not following trends; he’s setting up something on his own terms. Whether this move lands as well as his debut film remains to be seen. But it’s clear: he’s not done surprising people.
