Makkal Selvan Vijay Sethupathi's next outing is now ready for release. Yes! After tasting success with Vikram and the recently released Seenu Ramasamy directorial Maamanithan, Vijay Sethupathi is now all set for the release of his next movie - 19 (1)(a). This is a Malayalam film and it is his second outing in Mollywood after Marconi Mathaai which featured Jayaram in the lead role. The supremely talented Nithya Menen plays the female lead in this feel good drama, marking her first association with Vijay Sethupathi. The official trailer of 19 (1)(a) was released yseterday (July 22) and it looks quite promising.
The trailer starts off on a breezy note with elements of a feel good drama, but after crossing midway, the trailer turns intense and has a serious tone to it as we see the protagonists going through a series of dangerous problems. What are the dangerous problems that the two leads encounter is something that we will have to wait and watch. Vijay Sethupathi plays a Tamil writer who travels across various places to pen his stories, while Nithya Menen runs a xerox shop. The relationship between Vijay Sethupathi and Nithya Menen and the problems that they encounter is what 19 (1)(a) is going to be about.
The film will skip the theatrical release and have a direct OTT release on the Disney Hotstar platform. Through the trailer, the makers have officially announced that the film will release on July 29, next Friday, and we are less than a week away from witnessing the movie. The film is directed by debutant Indhu VS. Produced by Anto Joseph under the banner of Anto Joseph Film Company in association with Neeta Pinto's Ann Mega Media, 19 (1)(a) has cinematography handled by Manesh Madhav while Manoj has edited the film.
Govind Vasantha has composed the music. Indrajith Sukumaran plays a pivotal role in the film alongside several other talented actors, including Indrans, Srikant Murali, Atulya Ashadam, Bagath Manuel, and Deepak Parambol.
