Tharun Moorthy's Saudi Vellakka gets a release date

The makers of Saudi Vellakka have announced that the film will be hitting screens on December 2. Directed by Operation Java-fame Tharun Moorthy, the film was recently selected for screening at the Indian Panorama of the upcoming 53rd International Film Festival of India (IFFI). It was an official selection at the 21st Dhaka International FIlm Festival, 2023.

Saudi Vellakka stars Lukman, Binu Pappu, Sudhi Koppa, Gokulan, Srindaa, Dhanya Ananyaa, and newcomer Devi Varma. According to reports, the film is inspired by a real-life incident and it revolves around human emotions and discusses some relevant things that we experience in every household.

Earlier while speaking with us, director Tharun sounded hopeful that he has made something “special” just like his last film, Operation Java. “When it comes to Saudi Vellakka, its USPs are humour and emotions that everyone can connect to, including youngsters. But I also feel that wrapped in those elements are some values that would resonate more with folks that are relatively older. That doesn’t mean only a certain kind of audience should come for the film. It’s just that it’s not a thriller like Operation Java.”

Saudi Vellakka is backed by Sandip Senan under the Urvasi theatres banner. The film's core technical crew includes cinematographer Saran Velayudhan, editor Nishad Yusuf and music composer Paali Francis.
