"Bank" Thiti Mahayotaruk To Star In Thai Heist Comedy ESARN SEVEN

Thai actor "Bank" Thiti Mahayotaruk ("Hormones: The Series", "The Con-Heartist") is set to lead the action comedy "Esarn Seven" directed by Chantana Tiprachart ("Nha Harn"). The film is produced by Bangkok-based production outfit TSixtySix in collaboration with Kliff Studios, 185 Films, True-CJ Creations and White Light Post. Principal photography will begin later this year in Nakhon Ratchasima and Nong Khai. The release date is set for Winter 2026.

The film follows a down-on-his-luck filmmaker who returns to his hometown in Thailand's northeast to reclaim his family's stolen land from a corrupt local politician. To fulfil his mission, he assembles a motley crew of old friends, locals and misfits for a high-stakes heist set against the chaos and colour of the Bun Bang Fai rocket festival.

The members of the heist crew are played by Praew Chermawee Suwanpanuchoke ("Dr Climax"), Chatchai Chinsri ("Call Me Daddy"), Thiti Srinual ("The Undertaker") and Wisarut Himmarat ("A Useful Ghost"). Thai boxing legend Samart Payak-arun will play the role of the antagonist Governor Por.

"Esarn Seven" will be produced by TSixtySix's Cod Satrusayang, Tri Kanchanadul, Siripas Yomchinda and Nicholas Simon, with Kliff Studios' Tanat Tananivit, Kip Tiaviwat and Annie Yang serving as executive producers alongside Patchara Jiaravanon and Yaovarat Nirandara.

TSixtySix is the Thai-language production arm of production services outfit Indochina Productions, which has serviced and co-produced global titles including the third season of "The White Lotus", "The Creator", "The Meg 2" and "Extraction". Kliff Studios recently co-produced Cannes Critics Week winner "A Useful Ghost".

Cod Satrusayang, producer and head of TSixtySix said the following: "We wanted to highlight an overlooked part of Thailand for our next film and we found the perfect story. It's the kind of film that captures the spirit of modern Esarn – funny, defiant, and bursting with life – while offering international audiences a distinctly local story told with global craft".

Indochina Productions founder Nicholas Simon added: "We are investing heavily in Thai content as we see its world class potential, especially with the wealth of young talent."
