Why Vivek Athreya Is A Name To Watch
Vivek Athreya previously directed Nani in the vigilante action drama Saripodhaa Sanivaaram, which followed Surya, a man who fights injustice on Saturdays, eventually clashing with a corrupt, ruthless cop named Daya.The film also featured SJ Suryah, Priyanka Arul Mohan, Abhirami Gopikumar, Aditi Balan, and others in key roles. A horror outing would mark a fresh genre shift for the director, known largely for grounded, character-driven dramas.
