It is a vibrant depiction of Indian mythological characters Kannagi, Vasavi, Andal and Attukal Bhagavathy.

The name”Antaram” derives from the lives of their characters, who attained divinity within themselves, as Krithika enacts the role of Andal, Yamini as Vasavi, Gopika as Kannaki and Suhasini as Rhamba. In exploring the character’s story, it reveals the powerful divine form, while Rhamba emerges as the culmination of feminine aspirations in liberation, Vasavi is a manifestation of intellectual knowledge, Kannaki becomes an entity of dynamism and Andal becomes the envisioning power. “The sparkling performances of these best talents from South India will take the audience in to a magical world of wondrous visual beauty” according to the organizers.

“n a nutshell, Antaram will be a tribute to femininity, the magnanimity and immense potential that it holds, which will enthrall all”, organizers added.
