Vettuvam is a Tamil gangster drama directed by Pa. Ranjith, focusing on a rural gangster's rise to power, with Dinesh as the lead and Arya as the villain, starting its shoot in Karaikudi after a week in Kumbakonam.
Pa. Ranjith, known for films like Kaala (listed in the British Film Institute’s '25 Films of the 21st Century'), often weaves social issues into his work, as seen in his Neelam Cultural Center initiatives like the 'Koogai Film Movement'.
The film's title Vettuvam (வேட்டுவம்) translates to "hunting" in Tamil, hinting at themes of pursuit or conflict, aligning with Ranjith’s style of depicting gritty social realities.
