Tamil filmmaker AR Murugadoss is a known brand in India with many hit movies to his credit. Murugadoss is returning as a producer after 6 years because he believes in this story. He has produced many mid-budget films before that delivered strong content, so we believe in August 16 1947.A Shocking Story of Freedom Fight:

From the trailer, we know how hard hitting the story of August 16 1947 is going to be. The struggle of freedom fighters down South didn't see much light on the cinematic medium, and 1947 August 16 is going to bring out a shocking story from a remote village.Pan-India hunger for content

The rise of pan-India movies has been eye opening for filmmakers and audiences in the last 4-5 years. Cinema is not bound to any language, borders, stars, or directors now. Even a less known film with strong content can do wonders and become a nationwide sensation, and we believe that 1947 August 16 is attempting the same.NS Ponkumar's Conviction:

Studied under AR Murugadoss's hat, NS Ponkumar is making his directorial debut with NS Ponkumar. He has also written the script, and it's all about his conviction that led AR Murugadoss to back the project. If it wasn't for his conviction and dedication, Murugadoss would never have green lighted the project. His passion is visible through the trailer.A Talented Cast:

The film stars Gautham Karthik, Pugazh, Revathy Sharma, Richard Ashton, Jason Shah and others in pivotal roles. As you can see in the trailer, every actor looks like a perfect fit for the role. Gautham's outburst is realistic, Revathy's support as a lady seems beautiful, Richard looks dangerous, and even a big bunch of villagers are there, adding fantastic support. The cast seems to have elevated the making of this project.
