Actor Sibiraj starrer ‘Vattam,’ produced by SR Prakash Babu & SR Prabhu of Dream Warrior Pictures, will have its world premiere on Disney+ Hotstar. The film’s story has been written by critically-acclaimed entertainer ‘Soodhu Kavvum’ fame Srinivas Kavinayam and directed by Kamalakannan.
‘Vattam,’ an edge-of-seat thriller, revolves around a bunch of characters – Mano, Ramanujam, Gautham, and Paru, who experience turbulent series of events in a span of 24 hours that changes their lives and perception about life forever.
- I would say, ‘Vattam’ has fulfilled my long-run desire of playing a simple boy-to-next-door character: Sibiraj
- ‘Vattam’ is one such story where life of a bunch of people, totally alien to each other, crosses paths, and in a span of 24 hours, their life and perspective towards life changes: Director Kamalakannan
Commenting on his character, actor Sibiraj says, “Vattam is an important film in my career as it marks my first association with the prestigious Dream Warrior Pictures. I have always admired SR Prabhu and SR Prakash for their passion for cinema and their constant quest for selecting unique content and delivering the same in top-notch quality. It is written by Srinivas Kavinayam of ‘Soodhu Kavvum’ fame and directed by Kamalakannan of ‘Madhu Bana Kadai’ fame. They excited me even further as I enjoyed the freshness and quirkiness of both these films. I would say, ‘Vattam’ has fulfilled my long-run desire of playing a simple boy-to-next-door character.”
“I play Mano, a happy-go-lucky chap who never feeds himself with big ambitions and loves to live the moment. Although I am the protagonist, the movie has equal importance for the other characters, especially the ones played by Andrea Jeremiah & Athulya Ravi,” adds Sibiraj
Director Kamalakannan says, “The place of hopping on and off always remains the same for a Giant wheel. Similarly, our everyday day lives begin in the same usual way. We travel across the same route, meet the same people, carry the same ideas, perform the same tasks, and the day ends, only to repeat the same pattern. A small change in these patterns can turn a day upside down, make us question our entire habits, and urge us to look back at our lives. And when we reach the same point to get down as with a giant wheel, we can see a huge transformation within, including our habits. It will be the core premise of ‘Vattam’ movie, where audiences will have a top-speed Giant wheel experience with questions of whys and wherefores about the drama. ‘Vattam’ is one such story where life of a bunch of people, totally alien to each other, crosses paths, and in a span of 24 hours, their life and perspective towards life changes.”
