Fuelled by a passion towards filmmaking, Devaraja S, an assistant professor of bio-chemistry at Tumkur University, took up direction. He made his directorial debut with Supplementary, and is now getting ready with Veeraputhra.

Devaraja has written the story, screenplay, and dialogues as well for the upcoming film, which deals with the medical system. The story touches on the debate between folk medicine and allopathy, and its implications.

Headlining this action-commercial project will be Vijay Suriya. The popular face of Agnisakshi, who made a transition from teleserials to the silver screen, the actor will be seen in three shades. The first look was revealed by the team ahead of Vijay Suriya’s birthday on September 7.

The film is being produced by Guru Bande under the banner of Tanvi Production House. The team has finalised the lead cast, and a few technicians, including music director Raghav Subhash and DOP Uday Kiran.

Director Devaraja plans to take the film on floors when the pandemic situation improves.
