Raavana Kottam
The Seema Karuvela Maram, or Gum Arabic tree, plantation seems to play a significant role in the film, which is set amidst a bustling rural lifestyle, as seen in the movie's trailer. Written and directed by Vikram Sugumaran, the film appears to be a throwback to Tamil cinema's formulaic approach in creating rural-themed films. It also seems heavily influenced by politics, violence driven by money, and caste prejudices. Shanthnu plays the protagonist in the film, with Prabhu and Anandhi in supporting roles.
