Balaji Tharaneetharan on Vijay Sethupathi’s ‘Baththa’: Rebuilding 1980s North Madras Through Memory, Music and Character
Writer-director Balaji Tharaneetharan says his upcoming film 'Baththa' is designed as more than a period drama, using the texture of 1980s North Madras to anchor a story shaped by place, performance and sound. He also reflects on Vijay Sethupathi’s growth as an actor over the years and says working with young music sensation Sai Abhyankkar brought a fresh energy to the project.
