Chennai, Dec 24 (NationPress) Director Tamizh, who has crafted the narrative for director Suresh Rajakumari's highly praised Tamil film 'Sirai', revealed that he is the sole individual who has encountered the two people whose lives inspired this compelling story.

At a pre-release gathering for the film, featuring notable actors Vikram Prabhu, L K Akshay Kumar, Anishma, and Ananda, he stated, "Having worked as a policeman, I have escorted prisoners to court over 500 times. I am the only one who has seen the two individuals on whose experiences this narrative is based. Their faces frequently surfaced in my mind while I was writing. Yet, after viewing this film, which has been depicted with authenticity, it's the actors' portrayals that now come to my thoughts. Their performances are exceptional."

The film is set to release on December 25, just in time for Christmas, and has already garnered enthusiastic acclaim from critics and fellow filmmakers who attended exclusive screenings.

Indeed, the film's producer was so impressed with the critical reception that he presented the director with a car even before the film's release.

The trailer opens with Vikram Prabhu, a cop tasked with escorting a prisoner named Abdul Rauf (played by newcomer L K Akshay) to the Sivagangai court.

Accompanied by two other officers, Vikram Prabhu begins the journey with the prisoner. The trailer depicts the prisoner pleading with Vikram not to handcuff him while moving from the bus stand to the court, but the officers refuse, stating that murderers will be restrained as a consequence of their actions. "You should have thought about this before committing murder," they inform him.

As the narrative unfolds, it is revealed that Abdul finds himself in this predicament because of his girlfriend, who is also struggling with her own challenges at home. The situation escalates when he manages to escape from police custody, taking one of their rifles with him. The cops must now either recapture Abdul or face a lifetime in prison...

The film's plot, inspired by true events, was conceived by Tamizh, renowned for directing the critically acclaimed film 'Taanakaran'. It is believed that he based this story on personal experiences.

Director Suresh Rajakumari, who previously collaborated with the distinguished director Vetrimaran, has written and directed this film.

Vikram Prabhu stars as the lead, while actress Anantha plays his romantic interest. This film also marks the acting debut of producer SS Lalit Kumar's son, L K Akshay Kumar, with actress Anishma portraying his love interest.

Sources indicate that producer SS Lalit Kumar has invested significantly in this high-budget project, which features an outstanding technical crew.

The film's music is composed by the acclaimed Justin Prabhakaran, with cinematography by Madesh Manickam, and editing handled by the esteemed Philomin Raj. Stunt choreography is by Prabhu, and the film has Arun K and Manikandan as its executive producers.

Filming took place in various locations, including Chennai, Sivagangai, and Vellore.
