Talking about making a gangster movie, director Kumar told Deccan Chronicle, “A report in a newspaper about how Chennai is becoming a hub for narcotics in south India was the inspiration for this movie. I came across a woman in the scheme of things, which I felt was something new. I decided to make a film with this in mind and improvised adding my own imagination to it.”
“Gangs of Madras is the story of a girl who accidentally gets caught in a gangster group and how later it becomes her way of life. I did a lot of research before embarking on my journey. It is an action revenge drama shot stylishly and will be a new experience for audiences,” he added about the plot.
Produced by CV Kumar under the banner Thirukumaran Entertainment, the film has music composed by Hari Dafusia, and BGM by Shyamalangan under the supervision of ace composer Santhosh Narayanan. Cinematography is by Karthick K Thillai. The film is expected to release this summer.
