KUALA LUMPUR: A local Tamil film, Vijay LLB The Advocate, which brings a legal narrative and tells behind-the-scenes glimpses of court cases, will be in cinemas nationwide this Aug 1.
Raaga radio presenter, Uthaya, who plays the lead role in the film, said Vijay LLB The Advocate not only offers an interesting plot but also an important message.
“The film is adapted from a novel based on a true story and adapted with local elements. It promises a deep and captivating experience.
“Although the title refers to the world of law, Vijay LLB The Advocate offers more than just a lawyer’s narrative, with elements of drama and thriller that are rarely featured in local Tamil works,“ he said in a statement to Bernama.
