Discussing Jigarthanda DoubleX, starring Raghava Lawrence and SJ Suryah in the lead roles, Karthik Subbaraj recently shared that it serves as his homage to Western films and Hollywood icon Clint Eastwood, and Satyajit Ray.
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.
