Subramaniapuram (2008)
Subramaniapuram is a 2008 Tamil-language period drama film produced, written, and directed by Sasikumar. The low-budget film received critical acclaim for its
original script, expert direction, screenplay, editing, accurate sets and
costumes to resurrect Madurai from the 1980s. Sasikumar cast then relatively
new actors Jai, Swathi, Ganja Karuppu and himself in pivotal roles. Shot in 85 days, it became one of
the biggest commercial successes of the year. The movie was dubbed into
Malayalam under the same name and remade in Kannada in 2012 as Prem Adda. Director Anurag
Kashyap had revealed twice that this movie was
the inspiration for his Gangs of Wasseypur series - once in 2010 and once on the 10th
anniversary of this movie.
