It looks like this is the season of taking digs at our educational system through films. After Nanban, Marina, Dhoni and Udumban, comes Saattai, a movie that highlights the value of our government schools (corporation schools).

The movie is being produced by Prabhu Solomon and John Max (Mynaa producer), and directed by Anbazhagan as an associate of the former. After his performances in Subramaniapuram and Easan earned him accolades, Samudhrakani is playing the lead role of a government school teacher.

"At a time when we see government schools facing closure, Saattai talks about the importance of the noble profession of teaching. There's a huge message in it," says the director.

Yuvan appears in the movie as a student. While there are two female leads, Mahima and Swasika, Thambi Ramaiah also plays a vital role. The music has been composed by Imman
