Asuran is loosely based on Poomani’s Vekkai which talks about land grabbing and how it affects a family.

Now in social media, it is said the popular filmmaker Balaji Sakthivel has confirmed landing a role in Dhanush’s Asuran, which is being directed by national award-winning director Vetrimaaran and produced by Kalaipuli S Thanu’s V Creations. Balaji Sakthivel has been roped in to play a key role in Asuran, which is based on the novel, Vekkai penned by Sahitya Akademi Award-winning writer Poomani.

Confirming to DNA, Balaji Sakthivel said, “Yes, I play a significant role in Asuran. However, I’m currently not at liberty to divulge more details about my character.” Balaji Sakthivel refused to answer the million-dollar question on whether he is playing the role of an antagonist in the film or not.
