Singer Paal Dabba Set For Acting Debut In Vijay Milton's Upcoming Bilingual Film
Last Updated:
Chennai rapper Paal Dabba, real name Anish, debuts in director Vijay Milton's bilingual Tamil-Telugu film, Production No. 5, playing a dynamic character.
Independent music's beloved firecracker, Paal Dabba, real name Anish, is all set to make his acting debut. Known for his unapologetic lyrics and vibrant stage presence, the Chennai-based rapper and singer will now face the camera in director Vijay Milton's upcoming bilingual project.
Produced by Rough Note Production, the Tamil-Telugu film (currently titled Production No. 5) marks a new chapter for the multitalented performer. The team officially announced the casting on Sunday, confirming that Paal Dabba will play a fresh and dynamic character that's expected to leave a mark.
Anish, who shot to fame under his quirky stage name—an ode to his childhood obsession with cold milk—has built a loyal following with viral tracks like 170CM, Kaathu Mela, and the wildly popular Galatta from Aavesham. With roots in songwriting, choreography, and rap, he's already proven his versatility in the indie scene.
Now, he's taking that same raw spirit to the big screen. Director Vijay Milton shared his thoughts on the casting, saying, 'Paal Dabba brings a raw, youthful energy that matches the spirit of the film. He's an artist who lives his truth, and that authenticity is exactly what this character needs."
Interestingly, Production No. 5 is also generating buzz for featuring Telugu actor Raj Tarun in his Tamil cinema debut. With Milton at the helm, the film is expected to carry forward the gritty, emotional DNA of the acclaimed Goli Soda franchise—only this time, with even bolder choices and an eclectic cast.

Lal Salaam OTT Release: Rajinikanth's Extended Scenes Now Available on This Platform
Last year, superstar Rajinikanth made a special appearance in the movie Lal Salaam, which was directed by his daughter, Aishwarya Rajinikanth. The film, starring Vishnu Vishal and Vikranth, released on February 9, 2024, but despite high expectations, it failed at the box office and received negative reviews. The movie's OTT release was delayed for a year due to a missing hard disk that contained important scenes, including about 21 days of action footage featuring Rajinikanth. Director Aishwarya Rajinikanth mentioned that if these scenes had been included, the film's outcome might have been different. Now, with the hard disk recovered, Lal Salaam is finally streaming on SunNXT starting June 6, 2025. The OTT version includes an additional 12 minutes of footage featuring Rajinikanth and is currently available in Tamil, with the Telugu version expected soon.
