Vijayakanth's movies are loaded with messages for the general public. An actor-turned-politician, his films portray him as a do-gooder fighting for a cause. Vijayakanth skillfully uses film as an opportunity to expose the evils prevailing in the society.
'Engal Aasaan', the forthcoming venture of Vijayakanth, would be no different. The movie will have him play a manager in a bank located in a village.
He comes out with a strong message to the society with this film where he finds himself in the grip of feudal money-lenders.
According to reports, his bank lends money to farmers at government approved rates, wins their confidence and transforms the village. When private lenders pose hindrances to this, they happen to see a different avatar of Vijayakanth.
Sheryll Brindo plays the heroine and the two come together after 'Arasangam'. Vikranth, Akshaya and Suja are also in the cast.
Directed by Kalaimani and produced by Thangaraj, 'Engal Aasaan' has music by Sabesh Murali.
