About Thondiriyan & the VR-hybrid world

Thondiriyan is a Tamil AI feature film in development — a dark, cinematic sci-fi adventure built with generative tools and creative mentorship.

Alongside Thondiriyan we are building a protected flagship VR-hybrid world centered on the character Alagi — publicly described as: "Alagi: The Rise of Chola — a VR-hybrid Dravidian epic". (Core IP details remain private.)

Master E-Degree students may be selected for concept art, worldbuilding prompts, and directing roles in the companion Thirukural Web Series.

Seats for production mentorship and directing selection are limited. Priority invites go to students who complete the free course and submit strong portfolio work.

Note: Enrollment is the application step; final directing slots are merit-based and decided by creative leads.
