The trailer of Election, the upcoming Tamil film starring actor and director Vijay Kumar in the lead role, was released by the makers on social media on Saturday. The film is set to hit big screens on May 17. The upcoming film is written and directed by filmmaker Thamizh.
The trailer of Election was released by the makers on Saturday. It begins with the quote, "The ballot is stronger than the bullet," by Abraham Lincoln, hinting at the flavour of the film. We see a character talking about the importance of a towel for a politician, with intercuts about various scenes from elections and campaigns. We are also shown a young couple who share some lovable moments and get married eventually. The husband is later seen to be standing as a contestant for an upcoming election, while his mother is seen advising him against joining politics. Without revealing the plot, we see face-off happening between candidates who are sons of a leader and cadet, contesting against each other.
The film is headlined by Vijay Kumar, who has previously helmed Uriyadi and Uriyadi 2 and will be playing the lead role in Election. He was last seen in Fight Club. Election also stars actors Preethi Asrani, Richa Joshi, George Maryan, Paval Navageethan, and Dileepan. It is written and directed by Thamizh, who previously did Seththumaan, a critically acclaimed film that talked about caste politics in food. Election, too, is expected to have a strong social message.
Election is backed by Aditya under the banner of Reel Good Films. The technical crew of Election consists of music scored by Govind Vasantha with cinematography handled by Mahendiran Jayaraju. ‘Stunner’ Sam is the stunt coordinator and CS Premkumar has edited Election. Ezhumalai Adikesavan is the art director. Election will release on May 17 on big screens, along with Santhanam-starrer Inga Naan Thaan Kingu.
