Sathyavan Savithiri’s teaser drops — and it’s not the myth you’re thinking of. The film, starring Keerthy Suresh as an ambitious lawyer named Savithiri, isn’t a retelling of the ancient tale. It’s a modern-day power clash, wrapped in courtroom drama and marital tension. The 1-minute-19-second teaser, released on October 14, 2026, sets the tone: ambition meets ego, and the stakes are personal as much as professional.
Keerthy plays a woman clawing her way up the legal ladder, only to hit a wall in the form of Markendaya, portrayed by Mysskin, a senior advocate whose pride is as sharp as his arguments in court. The film, directed by Praveen S Vijaay, is set for release on November 20, 2026, after being delayed from its original July 24 slot to avoid clashing with Thalapathy Vijay’s Jana Nayagan.
That decision speaks volumes about the current South Indian box office landscape. Even a high-concept drama like this one can’t afford to be buried under a star’s shadow. The cast includes Charukesh, Bala Saravanan, Shilpa Manjunath, Deepa Shankar, Madhusudhanan, R. Sundarrajan, and Maala Parvathi. Music by Sam CS, cinematography by Arul Vincent, editing by Prasanna GK.
