Pa Ranjith's Seththumaan trailer gives a glimpse of bond between a child and his grandfather

The much-awaited trailer of Pa Ranjith's upcoming production was released today. The trailer gives us a sneak peek into the bond between a child and his grandfather, who fights all odds, including caste discrimination to make his grandson an educated and powerful person. The trailer also shows us a parallel story of a dominant person who wants to consume pork meat, a meat which is considered 'unclean' as pigs tend to eat filth. The film is all set to stream on May 27.

The film's production house shared the trailer on its social media page, "Watch the strong and heartful trailer of #Seththumaan. Don't miss to watch this remarkable movie, streaming from May 27th @SonyLIV. Catch the trailer here ▶️ https://bit.ly/3wHbiyF #SeththumaanOnSonyLIV @beemji @perumal_murugan #Thamizh @doppratheep @anthoruban (sic)."

Sony LIV, which is streaming the film, also shared on its social media page, "Don't miss out to watch #Seththumaan, a noteworthy directorial debut by Thamizh, produced by @beemji streaming on May 27th on SonyLIV✅ #SeththumaanOnSonyLIV (sic)."

The film is directed by Thamizh, and the star cast includes Manickam, Master Ashwin, Suruli, Prasanna, Kumar, Savithri, Kannigha, Annamalai, Nagenthran and Guru. Seththumaan is based on the story Varugari (fried meat) penned by popular novelist Perumal Murugan. While music for the film is by Bindu Malini, cinematography is by Pratheep Kaliraja and editing is by CS Premkumar. Lyrics for the songs are by Yugabharathi, Perumal Murugan and Muthuvel. 

Seththumaan seems to be yet another empowering tale of a Dalit protagonist from the Pa Ranjith stable. The film was premiered at the International Film Festival of Kerala. Seththumaan won the top Grand Jury Prize at The Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles (IFFLA) in 2021. The film was also screened at a number of international film festivals and had awards for the sensitive but hard-hitting portrayal of the caste system.
