Suriya unveiled the teaser of GV Prakash's upcoming Rebel, on Saturday. The film will mark the debut directorial venture of Nikesh R S.
The teaser introduces us to GV Prakash as the man who fought and died for Tamil. The film seems to be set somewhere in Kerala, and will mostly revolve around the battle against oppression and slavery. Rebel is based on true incidents.
Earlier, speaking with CE, director Nikesh said, "I was brought up in Kerala's Munnar. It is a period film which will showcase the life of people in the town. The film will centre around students who study there and how they are affected by the politics unfolding in the institution."
"Rebel would be a film for Tamil people. This is an important story that needs to be told and holds relevance for years to come," adds Nikesh. The film, which falls under the genre of action-drama, also encompasses elements of romance, comedy and politics.
Mamitha Baiju of Mukundan Unni Associates fame, will make her Kollywood debut through Rebel. Both GV Prakash and Mamitha will play college students in the film. Karunaas, Subramania Siva, Shalu Rahim, Venkatesh V.P., Aaditya Bhaskar, Kalloori Vinoth and Aathira, among others are also part of the cast.
The post-production work of the film is currently ongoing and the makers are planning to release the film soon.
