Balamurugan, a former associate of Jagan, who has worked with the likes of Cheran and Vijay, turns independent with Thangaratham. The movie has Vetri and Neeraja in the leads with a backdrop of a vegetable mandi. This is the first time a film has been shot extensively at the Oddanchatram Gandhi Vegetable Sandhai which is considered as TN’s second largest market.
“The movie is all about the rivalry between a boy who carries vegetables to the market and a group of men. So far, no other film has been shot at the Gandhi Market and that too in peak business hours. We managed to shoot for 15 days in the real location without creating a set,” claims the director. The supporting cast includes Soundararajan, Naan Kadavul Rajendran, and Naren among others.
