This film is a call for a democratic revolution

Rivan, a documentary filmmaker who has made over 80 documentaries on subjects like tribal welfare and AIDS awareness, is making his debut as a feature film director with Thittivasal, a film that stresses the need for a democratic revolution. Talking about the film, he says, ���The film has a socio-political message that is conveyed through a romance and is set against the backdrop of a tribal village.Today, an FIR can change a person���s life and the film shows how a couple���s life is unfairly affected this way. The film stresses that a democratic revolution is what will set things right rather than people taking up arms.���
Mahendran and Tanu Shetty play the affected couple while actor Nasser will be seen as a tribal chief who guides his people towards a revolution. Ajay Rathnam plays the leader of a Naxal group. The team has shot the film in places like Kotagiri, Kerala-Tamil Nadu border, Bangalore and Chennai. Brothers Harish and Sathish are the music directors, while German Vijay has composed two songs.
