Following “Vettaiyan,” starring superstar Rajinikanth, Amitabh Bachchan and Fahadh Faasil, director T.J. Gnanavel is set to helm “Dosa King” for Junglee Pictures. The film, inspired by the legal battle between restaurateur P. Rajagopal and Jeevajothi Santhakumar, will be co-written by Gnanavel and Hemanth Rao.

The story draws from the rise and fall of Saravana Bhavan vegetarian restaurant chain founder Rajagopal, dubbed the ‘Dosa King,’ and his conviction after an 18-year court case. Junglee Pictures has acquired Jeevajothi Santhakumar’s life rights for the project.

Gnanavel stated: “This film is my chance to share a story I witnessed first-hand 20 years ago.” Amrita Pandey, CEO of Junglee Pictures, added: “‘Dosa King’ is a thrilling narrative that demands a masterful blend of scale, drama, and entertainment.”

Casting for lead roles is expected to begin soon, with production slated to start in the near future.
