Vaiko to turn producer for a Tamil film

Oct 10, 2017 JB



Politician and MDMK chief Vaiko will be turning a producer with a historical film which chronicles the life and times of Rani Velu Nachiyar, the queen of Sivagangai in the 18th century who fought against the British in India.


Elaborating the reason for turning a producer the MDMK leader said, “Rani Velu Nachiar was the first Indian woman to fight the British by taking up weapons and she brought laurels to Tamil Nadu through her unparalleled valor even before the Rani of Jhansi. But people are not aware of such a brave woman and I feel it is high time I did something about it. Sriram Sharma would wield the megaphone for the film. The lead actress who would play the protagonist and other cast members will be announced soon. Right now we are in the process of preproduction work which needs at least six months.”


Vaiko announced this at an event that had the presence of Producer Council leaders including Nassar, Vishal, Ponvannan, and others like Vivekh, Parthiban, Thambi Ramaiah, and Vijayakumar.
