Jagame Thandhiram is a 2021 Indian Tamil-language crime action film directed by Karthik Subbaraj and produced by YNOT Studios together with Reliance Entertainment. The film stars Dhanush, James Cosmo, Joju George, Aishwarya Lekshmi and Kalaiyarasan. It follows Suruli, a gangster from Madurai, who is recruited to help Peter Sprott, a British crime lord, to take down a rival, but later gets caught off guard by the moral dilemmas that follow.

Production

While attending a special screening of his own Jigarthanda (2014) at a film festival in New York City, Karthik Subbaraj planned a gangster film set in foreign locations. In April 2016, it was announced that Dhanush agreed to produce the film under the actor's home banner Wunderbar Films, apart from playing the lead.

The rights for the film's production were later exchanged to Thenandal Studio Limited in 2017. However, the company later backed out of the project as they opted to prioritise Mersal (2017). S. Sashikanth of YNOT Studios revived up the project in 2018. Karthik said that the filming would begin after his completion of Rajinikanth's Petta.

While the film was tentatively titled as #D40, there were rumours claiming that the film's title was Suruli or Ulagam Suttrum Vaaliban (referring to the 1975 film of the same name), whereas Sashikanth claimed that there is no official announcement regarding the film's title.

In an interview, Karthik Subbaraj stated that the process of finalising a Hollywood actor was going through a casting agent, and "once the casting agent is impressed with the script, the makers need to make an offer and the number of days required for shooting, after which the actor will have three weeks time to accept [or] reject the offer.

Initially S. J. Suryah was approached to play the main antagonist Sivadoss, but the role went to Joju, marking his Tamil debut. George initially stated that he admired Karthik's works after his directorial debut with Pizza (2012) and tried to approach Karthik, but he could not get a chance. He stated that "Karthik asked me to audition for this role since it was a huge character. He narrated a scene and asked me to act.
