aha, the 100% local OTT platform, has released the trailer for an aha original film, ‘RathaSaatchi’, which talks about the valour of revolutionaries, revolt, and revenge, on December 9.

RathaSaatchi, dubbed the “betrayer” by his own people, embodies grit and determination.

The film is helmed by the debutant director Rafiq Ismail and bankrolled by Turmeric Media and Magizh Mandram.

Ajit Thakur, aha CEO, said, “We believe the story is the most important aspect of any film project. It’s a film with soul; hopefully, everyone would appreciate how the subject has been presented.”

The movie, adapted from the Short Story ‘Kaithigal’ from the ‘Venkadal’ book, glorifies the rebellious spirit of ‘Appu’, the most wanted fugitive who battled against slavery and corrupted politicians. Furthermore, it sheds light on the challenges and hardships Appu went through so do his followers, who have turned their back on him for reasons people empathize with.

The stellar cast includes Kanna Ravi, Elango Kumaravel, Kalyan Master, Kalieaswari, Harish Kumar, Arjun Ram, Arumugam Bala, Praveen, Vinod Munna and Madras Vinoth, among others, set to captivate the viewer’s eyeballs.
