The makers of Senthil-Yogi Babu's upcoming film Kuzhanthaigal Munnetra Kazhagam (KMK) released the film's teaser on Friday.
The teaser video was launched by actor Karthi. The glimpse revolves around the school elections, with the students' actions connected to some incidents of real-life politicians.
The film, as the title suggests, is expected to deal with politics with a special appeal to the children. Apart from Senthil and Yogi Babu, the film also stars Lizzie Antony, Saravanan, Subbu Panchu, Chitra Lakshmanan, and the late Mayilsamy.
Shankar Dayal made his directorial debut with the Karthi starrer Saguni in 2012. He last made the Vishnu Vishal, Catherine Tresa and Sri Divya starrer Veera Dheera Sooran in 2016 and is making a return to Tamil cinema after many years. Shankar is also producing the film with Arunkumar Sammantham under the Meenakshi Amman Movies banner.
This is the first time the director is collaborating with Senthil and Yogi Babu. In an earlier interview with CE, the filmmaker said the film does not take any political stance. "Without propagating political hatred or showing any violence, the film merely tells the audience that there is no malaise in politics. Our society does not ask children to embrace politics from a young age; it often tells them to study to become engineers and doctors, but why not politics? After all, our great leaders like Gandhi and Ambedkar had that fire from such a young age," he explained.
On the technical front, the film has cinematography by J Laxman Kumar (Poda Podi) and editing by Richard Kevin (Vikram Vedha). The band Shankar's Saadhaga Paravaigal will be making their feature film debut by composing the music for the film.
