an
eagerly
anticipated
Tamil
comedy-drama
film,
is
slated
for
release
on
20th
September
2024.
Written
and
directed
by
Era.
Saravanan,
the
film
stars
M.
Sasikumar
and
Suruthi
Periyasamy
in
the
lead
roles.
The
film,
produced
under
the
banner
of
Era
Entertainment,
promises
to
be
both
entertaining
and
thought-provoking,
focusing
on
important
social
issues.

The
storyline
of
Nandhan
revolves
around
an
underdog
from
a
rural
village
who
faces
numerous
challenges
in
his
struggle
to
overcome
societal
barriers.
The
narrative
is
expected
to
strike
a
chord
with
audiences
as
it
sheds
light
on
the
power
dynamics
and
political
manipulation
within
local
communities.
According
to
film
correspondent
Rajasekar’s
post
on
X
(formerly
known
as
Twitter),
he
was
pleasantly
surprised
by
the
first
half
of
the
film.
Rajasekar
described
Nandhan
as
highly
relevant,
predicting
it
will
be
an
eye-opener
and
a
talking
point
on
social
media,
particularly
regarding
how
dominant
political
leaders
exploit
oppressed
community
candidates
for
their
pride
and
greed.
He
praised
M.
Sasikumar’s
performance,
calling
him
“very
convincing,” and
commended
Era.
Saravanan’s
bold
approach
to
addressing
these
sensitive
issues.
