The film is said to be a true event-based story. In a recent interview, director Tha Se Gnanavel said that he will be making a biopic of Dosa king Jeevajothi Santhakumar’s life and his battle against a restaurant mogul. It is also said Superstar Rajinikanth is said to be playing the role of a cop in this film, which will be based on real-life incidents.
