Going Retro - Subramaniapuram


There is a trend of making classic retro movies in Kollywood now. The latest to join the list is Subramanyapuram directed by debutant Sasi Kumar who has previously worked with directors Bala and Ameer. The movie is based on the story of a group of friends who are located in Subramanyapuram near Madurai in the early 1980.

What love can do to a group of happy-go-lucky friends is the crux of the story. The highlight is that the entire movie unfolds in early 1980s. The sets have been carefully erected to suit the period. Intense research has been done and the costumes famous during those days have been recreated for the movie Subramanyapuram.

Chennai 600028 Fame, Jay plays the hero of this movie and Telugu actress Swathi plays the heroine. Director Sasikumar, Ganja Karuppu and Samuthirakani play supporting roles. Cinematography is by Kadhir.
