A spiritual successor to Jigarthanda, Karthik Subbaraj's highly acclaimed 2014 film, Jigarthanda DoubleX features a story set in 1975 where a Madurai-based gangster (Raghava Lawrence) and a filmmaker, played by SJ Suryah, lock horns.
SJ Suryah's breakthrough came in 1999 when he directed the psychological romantic thriller Vaalee, which propelled actor Ajith Kumar to remarkable heights.
