Watch this mind-blowing making video of Velaikkaran!

Velaikkaran is easily the most awaited Tamil film among the upcoming Christmas releases. The movie is directed by Mohan Raja, whose last outing Thani Oruvan was a huge success; both critically and commercially. Velaikkaran has a dream star cast comprising of Sivakarthikeyan, Fahadh Faasil, Nayanthara, Sneha, Prakash Raj and many others. Anirudh Ravichander’s music is another major attraction of the movie.

Last day, the makers of Velaikkaran had released a set making video via YouTube. This 7 minute long video shows the team’s extraordinary efforts to erect a massive set of a slum area. Director Mohan Raja, cinematographer Ramji and art director Muthuraj feature in the video and explain the thought process that has gone behind the set making.

The whole slum area was created on a huge area of seven and a half acres. It took around 55 days for the team to complete the set works. Major portions of the movie is set in the slum and is a character by itself. So, the makers have put in their best of efforts to make it look as authentic as possible.

Velaikkaran is a socially relevant commercial entertainer, similar to the director’s previous film Thani Oruvan. While that film was about medical mafia, Velaikaaran deals with food adulteration and how a slum dweller fights against the corrupt system. The director has dedicated this movie to the working class people.

RD Raja’s 24 AM Studios is funding this big budget movie slated to hit screens worldwide on December 22.
