Maaligai

Maaligai is a 2021 Indian Tamil-language period thriller film  directed by Dil Satya and starring Andrea Jeremiah and Karthik Jayaram.

Production
The film began production in 2019 and was supposed to be made in Kannada by director Dil Satya and produced by Hindi producers, but it was made as a Tamil film due to Andrea Jeremiah's popularity there. Dil Satya and Karthik Jayaram from the Kannada film industry forayed into Tamil cinema through this film.

Andrea plays an ACP, who upon investigating a palace learns about her past as a princess. She accepted the role since she got to play two characters, which is rarely offered to heroines. K. S. Ravikumar accepted the film due to cinematographer K. Ramsingh, whose mentor Ashok Rajan worked on many of his directorial films starting with his second film Cheran Pandian (1991).

The film was shot in Baroda, Chennai, Jaipur and Kochi.

Release
The Hindi dubbed version was released on 29 October 2021 on Zee Cinema.
