ALL ABOUT ‘JIGARTHANDA DOUBLE X’
Director Karthik Subbaraj’s ‘Jigarthanda Double X’ is a prequel to the film of the same name. The film, starring Raghava Lawrence and SJ Suryah, paid a hat-tip to Clint Eastwood, Satyajit Ray and Rajinikanth as well.
Here’s the trailer:
In an interview to The Hindu, Subbaraj said that the film is a homage to Western films and Hollywood star Clint Eastwood. “When we made the first promo for the first Jigarthanda, it featured a poster of Clint Eastwood. In the new film, the script lends itself very close to the Western tropes, and I have tried to explore it to the maximum,” he explained.
He revealed, “The story of Jigarthanda DoubleX is set in 1975, and at that time, Satyajit Ray was a working legend, and I wanted to incorporate it into the story. When we introduce the character of a filmmaker as someone who had assisted Ray, the character’s dimensions change drastically — how he behaves, his costumes and so on, it’s also another tribute.”
‘Jigarthanda Double X’ is one of the superhit films of 2023 in Kollywood.
