On Saturday, the makers of the upcoming film Jama announced that the film has cleared censorship formalities with a clean 'U' certificate. Helmed by and starring Pari Elavazhagan, the film is all set to hit theatres on August 2.
In an earlier conversation with CE, director Pari Elavazhagan, who will be seen as a therukoothu artiste in the film, and dons female roles in plays, said, "A group of therukoothu artistes who work together as a team is called a Jama. The story revolves around two artists who start a Jama together. How the protagonist attempts to reclaim the leadership post that his father once lost forms the basic storyline of the film."
Jama, which was completely shot in and around Thiruvannamalai, also stars Chetan, Ammu Abhirami, Srikrishna Dayal, KVN Manimegalai, Kaala Kumar, Vasanth Marimuthu, and Siva Maran, among others. On the technical front, the film has cinematography by Gopal Krishna, editing by Partha MA, and art direction by Srikanth Gopal. Learn and Teach Production, which has previously backed Koozhangal, is bankrolling this film.
Jama will hit theatres alongside Vijay Antony's Mazhai Pidikkatha Manithan, Yogi Babu's Boat, Ananth's Nanban Oruvan Vandha Piragu, Bala Saravanan's Pechi, and Nakkhuul's Vasco Da Gama.
