Tharun Bhascker is back in the game. He took a year’s break from direction to test luck as an actor. Having acted as a lead hero in recently released ‘Meeku Maathrame Cheptha’, he is now back to his first love - movie direction. Before directing another film, he is now completing a web series for ZEE5 App, a digital streaming company owned by the Zee group.
