Keerthy Suresh is set to headline ‘Sathyavan Savithiri,’ whose first official teaser has been released. Written and directed by debutant Praveen S Vijaay, the film features Keerthy and Mysskin in a courtroom drama that blends comedy with the fight for justice. Despite its serious subject, the teaser offers several light-hearted moments. Charukesh, Bala Saravanan and Shilpa Manjunath also feature in the film, which is scheduled to release worldwide on November 20.

Keerthy Suresh takes on Mysskin in court

The teaser introduces Keerthy as Savithri, a young lawyer who takes up her first case and faces a major challenge. Mysskin plays Markandeyan, a lawyer who goes up against her in court. The showdown between the two is evidently an important part of the movie, combining courtroom debates with humour. Savithri’s troubles are alluded to in the teaser as she copes with her job stress. The film marks the first collaboration between Keerthy Suresh and Mysskin as actors, adding to the interest surrounding their on-screen face-off.

Keerthy Suresh’s ‘Sathyavan Savithiri’ follows ‘Dorothy’

The film comes after Keerthy’s appearance in ‘Dorothy,’ which received positive responses from several viewers. In ‘Sathyavan Savithiri,’ she takes centre stage in a woman-led story about justice and personal challenges. Director Praveen S Vijaay has compared the film’s themes to courtroom dramas such as Vidhi, which combine legal battles with personal conflicts. He has also praised Keerthy Suresh’s performance, saying she has reached the “next level” after ‘Mahanati.’ The teaser’s blend of humour and courtroom drama suggests that the film aims to offer a different take on the genre.

Keerthy Suresh’s film to clash with Dhanush’s ‘Om’

The technical team includes composer Sam CS, cinematographer Arul Vincent and editor Prasanna GK. Praveen has also contributed lyrics alongside Mohan Raja and Uma Devi. The film’s first single, “Rippipee,” is an upbeat number. ‘Sathyavan Savithiri’ is set for a November 20 theatrical release, with a Telugu-dubbed version also expected. It will compete with ‘Om,’ directed by Rajkumar Periasamy and starring Dhanush and Mammootty. With comedy, legal conflict, and Keerthy Suresh in the lead, the film will look to attract audiences when it reaches theatres.
