Cannes Film Festival is much more than red carpet walks and fashion shows. Pa. Ranjith, the popular Tamil filmmaker has announced his new slate from there and it is super tempting.
We all know that Pa. Ranjith is well crafted for films which leave a social message and talks about the rights of the oppressed.
But his new slate is going to break that stereotype and they are much more than what he is usually supposed to be.
The first one is Natchathiram Nagargirathu,” starring Dushara Vijayan, Kalaiyarasan Harikrishnan and Kalidas in the lead role. It will be based on Tamil theatre and will tell us love stories that know no gender.
The next one is Chiyaan Vikram’s untitled film set in Kolar Gold Fields in Karnataka. But unlike the KGF franchise, this period film will revolve around coal miners of the early 19th century who discovered gold.
This is the film which will be linked with Vettuvam which will go on floors from November.
After the completion of Vettuvam, Pa. Ranjith will start working with Kamal Hassan on a film set in Madurai. However, he has not revealed any details yet.
After them, Pa. Ranjith will begin working on his Hindi debut by bringing the life story of Birsa Munda on screen.
