Director Raju Murugan, known for his socially rooted and thought-provoking films such as Joker, Cuckoo, and Gypsy, is gearing up for his next directorial venture titled My Lord, starring Sasikumar in the lead. The recently unveiled trailer offers a compelling glimpse into a hard-hitting narrative that once again reflects the filmmaker’s commitment to socially conscious storytelling.
Set against the backdrop of marginalized communities, My Lord revolves around the life of a refugee or economically underprivileged man who discovers that he has been declared dead in official records, despite being alive. What follows is an intense portrayal of his everyday struggles as he attempts to reclaim his identity and navigate a rigid bureaucratic system that refuses to acknowledge his existence. The trailer hints at a gripping emotional journey, highlighting the dehumanizing effects of administrative apathy on the powerless.
Sasikumar appears to be in top form, anchoring the film with a restrained yet powerful performance. The film also boasts a strong supporting cast, including Chaithra J Achar, Asha Sharath, Guru Somasundaram, Jayaprakash, and others, each expected to add depth to the narrative.
Technically, My Lord is backed by an accomplished crew. Nirav Shah’s cinematography lends a raw and realistic visual texture to the film, while Sean Roldan’s music is expected to elevate its emotional impact, complementing the story’s intensity.
With its timely theme, strong performances, and Raju Murugan’s distinctive storytelling sensibility, My Lord promises to be a powerful cinematic experience. The film is slated to hit theaters very soon, and expectations are steadily building.
