Veeramurugan wrote the story, screenplay, and dialogues, and also directed the film.
Director Veeramurugan shared the following details about the movie:
“I directed this film based on true events that occurred in a southern district.
In a specific area, the local residents belonging to a particular caste established a set of rules for themselves—mandating that no one could enter or leave the area in violation of these norms—and they continue to enforce this practice indirectly to this day.
‘Panangattan’ is a film that sheds light on the nature of these restrictions and the impact they have on society.
We filmed in locations such as Palamedu, Thoothukudi, Ramanathapuram, and Munnar, and we plan to release the movie in theaters soon,” said Director Veeramurugan.
The first-look poster of the film has now been released.
