The trailer of Arun Matheswaran’s upcoming Tamil revenge action-drama, Saani Kaayidham was unveiled on April 26. The film is gearing up for direct Over-the-top (OTT) premiere on Amazon Prime Video. Featuring Keerthy Suresh and Selvaraghavan in the lead roles, it will start streaming on May 6. The Telugu dubbed version will also be available as Chinni.
The makers of the film revealed in a statement that the story follows the journey of Ponni (Keerthy Suresh) who works as a constable and lives with her five-year-old daughter Dhanna and her husband Maari, who works as a coolie in a rice mill. In an unfortunate and unforeseen chain of events, she loses everything. To avenge the injustice done to her, she takes support of Sangaiah (Selvaraghavan), with whom she shares a bitter past.
Speaking about her role, Keerthy Suresh said in a press statement, “Saani Kaayidham is a complete departure from any of my past work, I play a raw and intense character. It was my role and director Arun’s distinctive storytelling style and vision that interested me to be a part of this hard-hitting film. To top it all off, I had director Selvaraghavan as my co-star – couldn’t get better! I have put my heart and soul into this role.”
