Thamizh’s second directorial work is the upcoming Election. For those interested, his debut film Seththumaan, which is available on SonyLIV and OTTplay Premium, is a must-watch. The film gained recognition in various film festivals for its impactful portrayal of food politics, a significant aspect of caste discrimination in Tamil Nadu and India. Seththumaan follows the story of a basket weaver striving to provide a better future for his grandson.

The project was supported by filmmaker Pa Ranjith.
