The first-look of director Pandiraj’s next, starring Sivakarthikeyan, Aishwarya Rajesh and others is out. The film is titled Namma Veetu Pillai, inspired by the title of MG Ramachandran’s 1965 film Enga Veetu Pillai.
The poster features Sivakarthikeyan holding a sledgehammer, with other men running towards him. The film is pitched as a rural family entertainer and is set in and around Karaikudi and Theni. This is director Pandiraj’s next after Kadaikutty Singam.
With your Blessings ?

In July, it was speculated that the film has been titled Enga Veetu Pillai. However, Vijaya Productions, who backed the MGR film said in a press note that they had the rights to the title, and did not sell it to Sun Pictures, the producers of the Sivakarthikeyan film.
Sivakarthikeyan reportedly plays Aishwarya Rajesh’s brother, and the story is said to be based on their relationship. Anu Emmanuel stars in the lead opposite him.
Actress Meera Mitun, who was part of Bigg Boss Season 3, recently joined the cast. She tweeted the news and said she hoped to meet Sivakarthikeyan soon.
