Suresh Sangaiah's final film, Kenatha Kanom, before he breathed his last two years ago, is gearing up for release this year. A pre-release event for the film, led by Yogi Babu, happened in Chennai on Monday. The film also stars Lovelyn Chandrasekhar and Raichal Rabecca in lead roles.
Speaking about the upcoming rural drama, Raichal said, "Kenatha Kaanom is a very special film and extremely close to my heart. Beyond being an acting experience, it carries deep personal reflections for me. The place and the people I encountered during this journey left a lasting impact on me. The film explores strong political and psychological dimensions, and I am confident it will significantly impress the audience."
Further, Lovelyn spoke about her experience working in the film and learning to ride a bike for it. She said, "Kenatha Kaanom is extremely special to me, and I deeply miss Suresh Sangaiah sir. The producers were wonderful to work with. Yogi Babu sir is humble and grounded. Nivas K Prasanna has given life to this film through his music. I thank those who helped me learn to ride the bullet bike for this role."
Suresh Sangaiah had previously helmed Oru Kidayin Karunai Manu and Sathya Sodhanai. Previously, speaking to CE about the film, he said, "Kenatha Kanom is set in a dry and barren village in the Ramanathapuram district and will revolve around the people in the area and speak about their struggles and their happiness. This film is close to reality and will hold an essential message for society."
The extended cast of Kenatha Kanom comprises Ramakrishnan, George Mariyam, Rajendran, Kavitha Barathi, Kalaipandiyan, and Hello Kandasamy, among others.
