Jai Bhim Director TJ Gnanavel To Direct Jeevajothi Santhakumar's Biopic 'Dosa King' For Junglee Pictures

Junglee Pictures, known for films like Talvar and Raazi, has brought Jai Bhim Director TJ Gnanavel on board for a recently announced biopic based on Jeevajothi Santhakumar's life, titled Dosa King. The film will showcase the life and tribulations of a restaurant mogul who was accused of a crime that shocked the nation, resulting in a conviction after a trial that was waged on for eighteen years – P.Rajagopal vs. State of Tamil Nadu.

Dosa King depicts Jeevajothi’s fight against a powerful opponent, the owner of one of the largest South Indian restaurant chains in the world. Talking about joining the team, TJ Gnanavel said, "I’ve observed the subject closely, following the case during my days as a journalist. I hope to bring out new dimensions through Jeevajothi’s legal battle on screen. Today, directing this project & working on its characters feels surreal. I'm excited to begin this journey with Junglee Pictures who are known for developing some of the most iconic films in contemporary Indian Cinema."
