Jama Trailer: A therukoothu artist's pursuit of recognition and love

The makers of director-actor Pari Elavazhagan's Jama released the film's trailer on Tuesday.

The trailer glimpse of the film shows a therukoothu artist who doesn't find luck in matrimony due to his effeminate outlook, since he takes up a lot of female roles. He, however, falls in love with the daughter of his Jama's leader, who usurped the power of running the troupe from the protagonist's father. The film is expected to revolve around the male lead's love and reclamation of his father's power.

In an earlier conversation with CE, director Pari Elavazhagan, who will be seen as a therukoothu artist in the film, and don 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.
