Indian actor Bobby Simha is all set to play the leader of LTTE Velupillai Prabhakaran in the upcoming biopic, ‘Seerum Puli’, meaning the raging tiger.
The film will be helmed by critically acclaimed director Venkatesh Kumar, who is known for his work on ‘Unakkul Naan’, ‘Lightman’ and ‘Neelam’. The film is expected to go on floors soon.
The director has earlier revealed that he is planning to make the biopic in two parts. The first part of the film will cover the early years of Prabhakaran and show how a student turned into a rebel and then became a leader, while the second part will cover his war for the cause of Tamil Eelam.
Directed by G Venkatesh Kumar, an erstwhile assistant director of Balu Mahendra, the film is going to be produced by Studios 18.
Prabhakaran was the founder of Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), the Tamil militant organisation that fought for the establishment of Eelam – an independent Tamil state in Sri Lanka. Prabhakaran was killed by the Sri Lankan army in 2009.
The LTTE has been designated as a terrorist organisation by 32 countries, including the European Union, Canada, the United States, and India. (With inputs from Times of India)
