With soul-stirring music composed by N.R. Raghunandan, ‘Christina Kathirvelan’ is rapidly gaining momentum.

Other important members of the cast include Singampuli, Ganja Karuppu, Jayakumar, T.S.R, Aarul D. Shankar, Silmisham Siva, Ravi VJ, ‘Kana Kaanum Kaalangal’ fame Bhuvaneshwari, Sanjay Varman, Adithya TV Vicky, Sathya, and Michael, among others.

Speaking about the film, director SJN Alex Pandian shared, “The story follows a young man who falls in one-sided love with a collegemate. He and his love interest are drawn into a plan to unite their fellow student, who happens to be the sister of a powerful local figure, with her lover. The film explores in a gripping manner how their lives turn upside down after this.”
He added, “Kaushik Ram, who played an urban youth in ‘Kaalangalil Aval Vasantham’, has undergone a complete transformation for ‘Christina Kathirvelan’, which is set in Kumbakonam and its surrounding villages. Prathiba’s skillful acting and the way she expresses emotions have been praised by the team. Inspired by real-life events, the film’s biggest strength is its music by N.R. Raghunanthan. Like the background score of 2023 film ‘Ayothi’, the music of ‘Christina Kathirvelan’ too will be celebrated. Prahath Muniyasami’s cinematography is another highlight, adding depth to every frame.”
The film’s team is gearing up to release ‘Christina Kathirvelan’ as a special summer treat in May. The audience can look forward to an engaging film that blends romance, tradition, and reality seamlessly.
