Super B Man first look: Bamboo Trees pivots from horror to superhero

Bamboo Trees Productions has unveiled the first look of Super B Man, the banner’s second feature after the 2023 supernatural thriller 3.33. The poster leans into a lightning-bolt insignia framed by a forest canopy, signalling the fantasy-survival lane the makers want the film to sit in rather than the spandex-and-skyline mould.

T. Jeevitha Kishore is directing, with Nambikkai Chandru, who wrote and directed 3.33, switching to acting in the lead. The female lead and supporting cast will be announced separately, the team said.

The technical line-up is the part doing the talking at this stage. Sathish Manoharan (Pindam, 3.33, Mango Muni) is on camera. Harshavardhan Rameshwar, the National Award-winning composer for Animal whose earlier credits include Kannum Kannum Kollaiyadithaal and Arjun Reddy, is scoring. Deepak S, who cut 3.33 and Sivakumarin Sabadham, is editing. Stunt choreography is by Sugan, costume design by MELWY J of Lokah and Minnal Murali, and sound by Sachin Sudhakaran, the second National Award holder for Animal in this crew.

“We wanted to create a superhero film that feels rooted yet visually exciting,” Jeevitha Kishore said in a statement, framing Super B Man as a grounded survival drama with a fantasy overlay rather than a straight comic-book riff. The team is positioning the film alongside the recent run of grounded Indian superhero attempts, with shoot updates and casting reveals to follow.
