Mugen is an angry, young man, while Anukreethy Vas plays a feisty role in Vettri

Bigg Boss Tamil 3 winner Mugen Rao finally makes his Tamil film debut with 'Vettri' alongside Femina Miss India World 2018 Anukreethy Vas. The film, said to be an action drama, will be directed by Anjana Ali Khan of 'Veppam' fame. The team has shared the first look poster, today.
Giving us details about the film, Anjana says, "It is a story of a boy's journey through his life. There are two forces that are at play - the circumstances he was born into, which include the economic deprivation and humiliation that comes with that, and the will of his mother.The film delves into the choice he would make - will he choose a path of violence or fulfill his mother’s vision."
Anjana says that Mugen's role is that of an angry young man. "It is rooted in reality, though. Everyone would have gone through some level of clashes with others in their lives. Not everyone will have it easy, right? Even though it is packed with action, it is not an irresponsible telling of the story. I am well-aware of the power cinema has and the impact on our audiences. In that sense, it will be realistic," she informs.
Anjana says that Mugen was her first choice for the lead role. She says, "He comes across as an easy going and charming person. I thought he'd be apt for the role. Anukreethy plays a feisty and an interesting role. Anupama Kumar essays the mother's character and Kishore plays the father's role. Both of them have a strong presence in the film."
Randy handles the cinematography, while Nivas Prasanna will score music for the film. "We will begin shooting next Monday. The entire film is set in Chennai. We will be taking all safety measures owing to the current situation," says Anjana, who is happy to be back after a short hiatus.
