Vasantham, a popular channel under Mediacorp Singapore, is widely known for its diverse array of Tamil dramas and television shows. The channel has garnered a significant audience base and enjoys a dedicated fan following, both in Singapore and beyond. Many Malaysians frequently tune in to Vasantham’s programs, drawn by the channel’s high-quality productions and culturally relevant themes.
The recent Mediacorp Tamil drama, ‘Karuvanam‘, features Malaysian actress Jayshree, marking a significant recognition of Malaysian talent and highlighting the growing collaboration between the Singaporean and Malaysian entertainment industries. Directed by renowned Singaporean filmmaker Kumaran Sundaram, the series delves into themes of family, heritage, and redemption, all while captivating audiences with its eerie narrative and suspenseful twists.
This is not the first time Malaysian talent has been showcased in Kumaran’s productions.

The gripping storyline follows twin sisters Meera and Shalini, who were separated at birth and raised in an orphanage. Their lives take a dramatic turn when they are reunited by an unexpected inheritance: their biological mother’s mysterious old house.
As the twins attempt to build a new life together, they uncover far more than they anticipated—a hidden and chilling legacy. While unraveling their family’s dark and twisted history, they find themselves plagued by a sinister curse. What begins as a journey to reclaim their roots quickly transforms into a desperate quest for survival.
This compelling drama masterfully blends supernatural suspense with cultural depth, offering viewers a unique and captivating narrative that keeps them hooked at every turn. ‘Karuvanam’ is available for streaming on meWATCH (PG13) and on the Mediacorp Drama channel on YouTube (M18).
