Suriya's Critically Acclaimed 'Jai Bhim' To Release In Theaters On His Birthday

Chennai, June 30 - Tamil superstar Suriya's legal drama film Jai Bhim holds a special mention in Tamil cinema. Directed by T. J. Gnanavel, the film deals with the subject of police bias and state violence against a marginalized community.

Based on a true incident in 1993, which involves a case fought by Justice K. Chandru, it revolves around the lives of Sengeni and Rajakannu, a couple from the Irular tribe. Rajakannu was arrested by the police and was later missing from the police station. Sengeni seeks the help of an advocate Chandru to seek justice for her husband.



Upon its release on Amazon Prime Video in November last year, "Jai Bhim" got high critical appreciation. However, the movie's digital release left the audiences and Suriya's fans disappointed as many felt it deserved theatrical release for its bold and sensitive subject.

Well, there is good news for the fans as "Jai Bhim" is making its way to theaters for the first time in India. Rajsekar Pandian, director and co-producer 2D Entertainment, announced on social media that "Jai Bhim" will be released on the big screen on Suriya's birthday (July 23) in Trivandrum, Kerala.
