Interesting facts

Kathakali is a 2016 Indian Tamil-language action thriller film directed by Pandiraaj. It stars Vishal, who also co-produced the film with Pandiraaj, and Catherine Tresa. It follows a man who becomes the prime suspect in the murder of a gangster who threatened his family.

Production

The film's title Kathakali was announced in September 2015. Director Pandiraaj admitted that the film was unrelated to the dance form from Kerala, which he said is "all about facial expressions and hand gestures that effectively convey the background narrative rendered in musical format. The story of my film is about the various emotions and reactions of the protagonist, as he grapples with one life-changing incident after another".
