Magalir Mattum, pegged as a women-centric film, is jointly produced by Suriya under his 2D Entertainments and Christy Pictures. Jyothika has dubbed her own lines for the film, and has already completed her portions. She is now shooting for Bala’s film Naachiyar. Magalir Mattum has music by Ghibran. Most of the shooting was done in and around Tamil Nadu.
Incidentally, Bramma’s 2015 film Kuttram Kadithal, which won the National Award for Best Tamil film that year, was also based on a true story. The film starred Radhika Prasidhha, Sai Rajkumar, and child artist Ajay, and was an intense drama that focused on issues related to the school system.
