Thangalaan is a period-action drama directed by Pa Ranjith and features Vikram in the leading role. He is supported by a cast comprising Parvathy Thiruvothu, Malavika Mohanan, Pasupathy, Daniel Caltagirone, and others. The film revolves around a group of tribal people who are employed by British officers to find gold in KGF.

Much like Pa Ranjith’s previous films, this film too portrays the authentic experiences of marginalized individuals from previous centuries and their fight for justice, constrained by oppression, as they are employed by colonizers to find gold in the region.
