Veera Thiruvizha, yet another film on jallikattu!

The film talks about five youngsters, who win at the sport and bring laurels to their village despite many odds.

Films on jallikattu seem to be the flavor of Tamil cinema now. After Ameer’s Santhana Devan, Vijay Sethupathi’s Karuppan, here comes Veera Thiruvizha, another film on the Tamil sport, which is directed by Vijayamuralidharan. Three newcomers namely Sathya, Selvam, and Selva debut as heroes with this film and Thenika will be playing the female lead. “The movie has been shot in the real locations where jallikattu is regularly held. The film talks about five youngsters, who win at the sport and bring laurels to their village despite many odds. We have also picturised the recent jallikattu events,” the director says.

Ponvannan, who is on a roll now, will be seen as the panchayat head. “Our film was the first full-fledged Tamil movie on jallikattu. Because of the ban on the sport, we encountered certain problems and hence the movie has been delayed,” claims the director.
