Indian star Karthik Sivakumar, known by his screen name Karthi, is bullish about upcoming release “Japan,” his 25th film.
The film is due to release in November during the Deepavali holiday frame in Tamil, Telugu and a few other languages. “It’s a crime thriller, it’s got a manhunt to it. But apart from that, the writing and characters in the film are so well-rooted, and at the same time, it’s got a lot of flamboyance – it’s a very unique combination,” Karthi told Variety.
The film, from prolific south Indian studio Dream Warrior Pictures, is directed by Raju Murugan. “Being so grounded and yet having the flamboyance and the cockiness of this character is what got me hooked to the project, and the keenness to work with Raju Murugan – I’ve liked his earlier two films ‘Cuckoo’ and ‘Joker’ and his understanding of local community, the culture here,...

AnalysisWith the ‘save farmers’ trope coming back to mainstream discussion after the jallikattu protests in 2017, movies once again began connecting Tamil identity to agriculture. Any threat to agriculture was seen as a threat to Tamil identity itself.In Tamil popular culture, a film that claims to be based on the ‘plight of farmers’ is immediately looked down upon. One could say that the Tamil audience is tired of how filmmakers abused the trope of ‘save agriculture, save farmers’ in numerous films over the last few years. After the massive protests against the ban of jallikattu in 2017, movies on farmers were a hot commodity in Kollywood. Kavan (2017), Kadaikutty Singam (2018), Kana (2018), Seema Raja (2018), and Bhoomi (2021) are some of the movies that hopped on the bandwagon of the ‘save farmers’ trope.

A brother-sister bond is threatened by marriage and it takes years for the brothers-in-law to get along.
