Pokkiri Mannan revolves around the hero’s journey through the scams in the liquor industry, along with his friends. Bangalore-based newcomer Spoorthi will play the female lead. The actress said she was relieved that she didn’t have to perform any complicated dance routines with the accomplished Sridhar.
Given that the film is full of newcomers, Sridhar, who is well-connected in the industry, said that many celebrities would have been willing to boost the film’s public image through a cameo appearance. However, he had refused their assistance as it was his first film, and he wanted to ensure it was successful in its own right.
Produced by RSSS pictures, Pokkiri Mannan has on board music director AT Indira Varman, cinematographer Soorim and editor Bhagath Singh V.
