Director Mari Selvaraj, known for his socially conscious filmmaking in hits like “Karnan” and “Maamannan”, will embark on an exciting new project – a gritty sports drama featuring Dhruv Vikram in the lead role.
The untitled film will explore themes of overcoming adversity, finding purpose, and the transformative power of competition. Dhruv Vikram, son of Tamil actor Chiyan Vikram, is ready to showcase his dramatic range as a young man who chooses sport as his path to a better future.
Selvaraj, always a champion of authentic storytelling, has expressed his excitement about delving into the world of Kabadi, a traditional Indian contact sport. “This film will be a raw and powerful exploration of the sport’s roots,” Selvaraj stated. “Dhruv Vikram’s energy and talent will bring a captivating new perspective to this story.”
The film marks another collaboration between Mari Selvaraj and the production house Neelam Studios, founded by filmmaker Pa Ranjith. Their previous work together, notably Selvaraj’s debut film Pariyerum Perumal, garnered significant critical and audience acclaim.
Dhruv Vikram is a rising star with notable performances in Adithya Varma and his father’s recent film Mahaan. This sports drama offers him a chance to take center stage and show his versatility as an actor.
Fans of Mari Selvaraj and those curious of Dhruv Vikram’s growing presence can expect an interesting film that explores the power of the human spirit in the face of overwhelming challenges.
