A riveting trailer of the upcoming Tamil period drama August 16, 1947, headlined by Gautham Karthik, was released by the makers today. Produced by AR Murugadoss, the film is written and directed by NS Ponkumar.
The film is set in a village called Sangadu, which is described as “the capital of slavery,” a day before the Indian independence in 1947. The trailer begins with a chilling dialogue from the antagonist, a British head, who says, ”Rest isn’t necessary to forget the pain; you can just inflict more pain.” The film tells the bone-chilling, emotional story of how the British kept the village in the dark about Indian Independence, and how the villagers fought back and got their own freedom.
