In Velaikkaran, Sivakarthikeyan sheds his Remo image, to take on the greedy CEOs and probably lead the Tamil workers to a revolution. At the launch, he vowed never to endorse products again.
“I have decided that I won’t endorse any brands and act in advertisements henceforth in my career. The reason behind my decision is a crucial scene in the film, which I can’t reveal it now. A real-life doctor has also performed in the sequence, which left the entire team in tears. I don’t want to convey a wrong message to anyone. I would like to be a responsible person and don’t want people to be misguided through my ads,” he said.
The film is Mohan Raja’s turn to deviate from the norm. Velaikkaran marks the Tamil debut of Fahadh Faasil. Cinematography for the film is by Ramji. Actors Rohini, Vijay Vasanth, Sneha – all have pivotal roles in this film.
