“Jayaraj,” the popular Mollywood director just completed his new venture Veeram with Bollywood star Kunal Kapoor in the lead. Even before the theatrical release, the film had been premiered at BRICS Film Festival. It was the first film to be screened at the fest and the director seems to be an elated person, now. The film is set in the 13th century in Kerala. It is about Chandu Chekavar, a Kalaripayattu warrior. The great warrior meets a tragic end due to a betrayal.

After the film had been screened at the film fest, Jayaraj said, “I am happy and proud for this opportunity to present the first screening of my latest movie Veeram. It is an adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth especially in this quadric centennial of the great writer. BRICS has honoured our work by choosing Veeram to be world premiered as their opening film."
