Seenu Ramasamy set to direct a biopic on the British engineer who made the Mullaperiyar Dam

Seenu Ramasamy is among one of the most versatile filmmakers whose movies have deep and meaningful content. This time the National award-winning director is back to make a movie on the life of the British Engineer and member of the Madras Legislative Council, John Pennycuick.

John Pennycuick went down in history books for his brilliant work on the Mullaperiyar Dam which serves for the Periyar River in Idukki District of Kerala. Seenu Ramasamy is expected to bring out certain unknown facts of how the making of the dam went down and also instances of the life of the British Engineer. He is still revered by many people for he put immense effort and money into crafting the dam.

Talking about the Mullaperiyar dam, it is a major source of agriculture for the residents of several districts of Tamil Nadu. It would be intriguing to find out how Seenu Ramasamy would bring out these elements while making the upcoming biopic.

Seenu Ramasamy is currently occupied with the post-production work of GV Prakash’s upcoming movie Idi Muzhakkam. He is also awaiting the release of Vijay Sethupathi’s upcoming drama Maamanithan. The filmmaker is known to have made several acclaimed movies with the Makkal Selvan like the National-award winning movie, Thenmerku Paruvakaatru, yet-to-be-released Idam Porul Yaeval and the successful Dharma Durai.
