The period film Madharasapattinam produced by AGS International has just got bigger than it was thought. Madharasapattinam has been taken over by the high profile Red Giant Movies for releasing worldwide.

As the name suggests the film ‘Madharasapattinam’ is a period drama set in the back drop of pre-independence India in the then Madras under British Raj. To be more particular the film is set in the Madras of the 40s and takes place in Vannarapettai (Washermanpet) area.

‘Madharasapattinam’ is written and directed by A L. Vijay of ‘Kireedam’ and ‘Poi Solla Porom’. It is a story of a dhobi, who is also a wrestling champ. Problems arise when a British girl Amy Wilkinson falls in love with the Indian boy as it was forbidden back then.
