Udhayanidhi Stalin in Nenjukku Needhi

If the buzz in the industry is to go by, the digital rights of Udhayanidhi Stalin's latest offering Nenjukku Needhi has been snapped by Sony LIV. The film stars Udhayanidhi Stalin, Aari Arujunan, Tanya Ravichandran and Shivani Rajasekhar in the lead. The title of the Tamil version, Nenjuku Needhi, is named after the autobiography of Udhayanidhi's grandfather and the DMK patriarch M Karunanidhi. Cinematography for the film is by Dinesh Krishnan and editing is by Ruben. This is Arunraja Kamaraj's second directorial after Kanaa.

Nenjukku Needhi is a remake of the neo noir drama, Article 15, directed and produced by Anubhav Sinha. The film had Ayushmann Khurrana playing the lead, who plays a Brahmin police officer who uncovers the history of caste oppression in a village in Uttar Pradesh. The plot of Article 15 is said to be inspired by real life incidents, especially, the 2014 Badaun gang rape and the Una flogging incident in 2016.
