Karthik Subbaraj shot to fame with his debut Tamil feature film, Pizza (2012). He is now ready with his second film, Jigarthanda which is produced by S.Kathiresan. Featuring Siddharth in the lead along with Lakshmi Menon, Bobby Simha, Guru Somasundaram, Prathap Pothen etc. While Bobby Simha did play the antagonist in Alphonse Putharen‘s bilingual film Neram (2013), that was a role which still had a bit of humour involved. Here in Jigarthanda he plays an out and out baddie, an interesting move. This also seems to be a departure of sorts for Siddharth who his more known for his lover-boy roles.
Jigarthanda has music by Santosh Narayanan while Gavemic Ary is the DOP and Vivek Harshan the editor. Jigarthanda is due for release shortly. Check out the trailer now.
As Jigarthanda finally gears up for a release on 25th July, here is a new trailer of the film which looks exciting.
