A realistic film on honour killing

Kaliru, an upcoming film by Sathya, exposes the politicians behind the honour killing cases in South Tamil Nadu. Director Sathya has chosen debutant Vishwak and Anu Krishna, who gave an impressive performance in Ilami as the lead pair. “I wanted a fresh pair without any image trap for the sensitive subject.

Both have meaty roles.  Though the film is about honour killing, I am not taking sides to any one,” says Sathya. He adds, “It is a realistic take on the situation which exposes the opportunist politicians and those in power.” The director also claims that he did his bit of research for the project.
