Savarakathi (English: Hair-cutting Scissor or Long Shaving Razor) is a 2018 Tamil comedy drama film directed by G. R. Adithya, written and produced by his brother Mysskin.

Another director, Ram, was signed on to play the lead role of the barber, with Adithya keen on selecting someone with an "innocent" face.

Ram initially refused the offer, as he felt that the film would undo his public image of being a serious film-maker, but later accepted to feature in the project.

[6][7] The actress revealed that she would play a hearing-impaired pregnant lady in the film, and prior to the start of shoot, she took part in a ten-day workshop where she learnt to speak the Sivagangai slang and was taught how to portray the character by Adithya.

[8][9] Ashvatt, who previously appeared in Mysskin's Pisaasu and Thupparivaalan, was signed on to play a key role in the film, while television anchor Swathishta Krishnan also joined the cast.
