The makers of Vemal's upcoming film Paramasivan Fathima, dropped the film's trailer on Friday.

As we were told before, the film is centred around the friction between a Hindu-majority village, Subramaniyapuram, and a Christian-majority village, Yakobupuram. The glimpse suggests that the film will discuss contentious subjects such as forced religious conversions and the need for unity. In addition to this, there is an Islamic element in the film too, of which we don't see more. The glimpse also gives a recall to the 2004 film Kovil by director Hari, which too is premised around sectarian conflict between a Hindu and a Christian town.

The film is directed by Esakki Karvannan, who has previously made Tamil Kudimagan (2023), Pettikadai (2019), and Pagiri (2016).

Paramasivan Fathima features an ensemble cast of Vemal in the lead role, with Chayadevi playing the female lead and MS Bhaskar, Manoj Kumar, Sri Ranjani, Athira, Aruldoss, Cool Suresh, Kadhal Sukumar, Veerasamar, and others in other crucial roles.

The film's technical crew comprises cinematographer Myna Sukumar and music composer Deepan Chakravarthy. Esakki has also written the script of the film, produced by Lakshmi Creations. The film's final leg of shooting is underway.

Vemal, who was last seen in Bose Venkat's SIR and Badava, also has a horror film titled Belladona in the pipeline. His JioHotstar webseries Om Kali Jai Kali is slated for a release on March 28.

The makers are yet to unveil a release date for Paramasivan Fathima.
