Fareed who co-produced films like Kalavani, turns director with a movie titled Veeraiyan, which is set in Tanjore in the 90s. While Inigo Prabhakaran and Shiney play the protagonists, Fareed says that he has attempted a new style of narration.
Talking to DC, he said, “There are three different dimensions handled in the movie — the bond between a father and son, an intense love track and the life of three carless youngsters. These stories will converge 15 minutes after the film begins and their journey is narrated in an interesting manner.”
He adds, “The circumstances will take forward the story, which is told in a realistic manner.”
Ask him why the period setup, and he says, “When you watch the movie, you will know why I chose the film to be set in the 90s. We had difficulties in finding a place without cable connections, telephone towers, etc. This film will be a dedication to the people of Tanjore.”
Besides Preethisha, a transgender who is portrayed in a role with lot of respect, a ghost named Sarasamma is a pivotal character. Aadukalam Naren, Vela Ramamoorthy, Kayal Vincent, Vasanth form the supporting cast of the movie which is scheduled for a November release.
