Vikram and Pa. Ranjith’s ‘Thangalaan’ is coming to theatres on August 15th. The movie, based on real-life incidents in Kolar Gold Fields, features Malavika Mohanan as the antagonist.
During a press meet, Vikram made some interesting comments. Vikram said, “You would have watched Sarpatta Parambarai, right? Though boxing isn’t famous in Indian cinema, Pa. Ranjith dragged you into Sarpatta’s world. You got involved in the movie completely without thinking about oppression or ideology. You just enjoyed the movie. Thangalaan will be like that.”
Vikram added, “I loved Sarpatta Parambarai, but that is nothing compared to Thangalaan in terms of making and vision. I am not going overboard with my statement. You will understand it when you watch the film. Pa. Ranjith has done an extraordinary job handling multiple things. The movie has got amazing performers. We didn’t use cell phones during the making.”
Touted to be a period action drama, ‘Thangalaan’ is headlined by Vikram and is helmed by filmmaker Ranjith, marking his first collaboration with the actors.
Actors Pasupathy, Malavika Mohanan, Parvathy Thiruvothu, Hari Krishnan and others are also part of the film’s cast. Thangalaan is backed by Studio Green, Jio Studios, and Neelam Productions banners jointly.
