Directed by debutant Murugesh, the film Sagaa is a crime drama which is expected to hit the screens sometimes later this year. The trailer of the film was unveiled on Friday.
The one minute and thirty eight second trailer gives us a glimpse of how fast the film is. We see that the story revolves around four young boys, who run for some reason throughout. When one of the boy says Indha vegam dhaan da nammala ivalo dhooram konduvandhu vitruku (It is because of this fire, we are here) it is clear that boys end up in prison for some sort of crime, which they have committed in the heat of the moment.
Apart from the fights and pursuit of revenge, the trailer also shows love between Saran and Ayra. Produced by R.Selvakumar and Ramprasath under the banner Selly Cinemas, the film also features Kishore, Sreeram and Pandi, the boys of Pasanga and Goli Soda fame. Ayra and Neeraja plays the female leads in the film.
The music for the film is composed by Shabir, a national award winning singer-songwriter, record producer, music composer and performer from Singapore, while the cinematography for the film is done by Niran Chander. The film was initially slated to release in July, but has faced delays due to various reasons.
Talking about his experience in composing the music for the film, Shabir says, “It’s something I have been waiting for so long; I just wanted it to be released. In a way, this is better, I can savour my joy without letting nervousness block it.”
The film had initially received an ‘A’ certificate, and the makers were asked to remove 21 minutes from the film as it involved violence performed by the actors who played minors on screen. Later it was given an ‘UA’ after which they were asked to reshoot few portions.

Talking about the certification to the Times Of India, director Murugesh said “When people see the ‘A’ rating, they immediately think the film has vulgar scenes. In fact, it is easier to get such films certified. Some film, like mine, have violence that is necessary, but since such content is also given ‘A’, it becomes difficult for us.”
