The Pizza franchise is officially returning for another outing. On Monday, the makers announced Pizza 4, the latest instalment in the cult Tamil horror thriller series that began over a decade ago. The film will be produced by CV Kumar under his Thirukumaran Entertainment banner, continuing his long association with the franchise.
A new slice of horror takes shape
While Sreesh Vijay has been roped in to direct the film, the story and screenplay have been written by CV Kumar. The screenplay is being adapted by the director, with dialogues penned by Yogaraj K. Sivakumar will serve as the executive producer.
This marks another attempt to expand one of Tamil cinema’s most recognisable horror franchises, with each film telling a standalone story linked by its supernatural themes rather than recurring characters.
Bigg Boss Tamil fame Prajin will headline Pizza 4, marking a significant addition to the actor’s filmography. He will be joined by social media influencer Hussain in a prominent role, while details of the remaining cast are expected to be revealed in the coming weeks.
A franchise with a lasting legacy
Ever since Pizza released in 2012, the franchise has enjoyed a special place among fans of Tamil horror cinema. Directed by Karthik Subbaraj in his feature debut, the original starred Vijay Sethupathi and Remya Nambeesan and was praised for its inventive storytelling, atmospheric tension and unexpected twists. The film also played an important role in launching both Karthik Subbaraj and Vijay Sethupathi into the mainstream.
Its success paved the way for Pizza II: The Villa in 2013, starring Ashok Selvan, followed years later by Pizza 3: The Mummy, which featured Ashwin Kakumanu in the lead. Although each instalment explored a different story and set of characters, the series retained its signature blend of psychological suspense and supernatural horror.

For Pizza 4, the technical team includes cinematographer Hariharan Anandharajah, editor PK and production designer Vignesh. With production now officially announced, more details about the film’s plot, supporting cast and release timeline are expected in the months ahead.
As one of Tamil cinema’s most successful anthology style horror franchises, Pizza continues to generate curiosity with every new chapter. Fans will now be eager to see what fresh mystery awaits in its fourth serving.
