While Sakthi Film Factory will be releasing LKG in Tamil Nadu, the Karnataka distribution rights have been bagged by ANK Films.
RJ Balaji, who is also a well-known cricket commentator, has acted in films such as Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, Kaatru Veliyidai, and Thaana Serndha Kootam, which won him accolades.
On his film, RJ Balaji is reported to have told, “The first thing I decided was that it shouldn’t be a spoof film. I wanted to tell a story. The film is the journey of Lalgudi Karuppaiah Gandhi, a small-time politician. And there is definitely a takeaway in this film. I have provided a solution to our political issues.”
In his message to the hard core movie buffs, he had said, “I request everyone to see my film, and rip it apart if they feel so, because this is a product on which they spend their money. Also, I don’t want people to criticise me only in a constructive way. Everyone has their own style and tone, so they can criticise in whatever manner they want to.”
