Prince Trailer Talk: Sivakarthikeyan Navigates An Interracial Romance In This Comedy

The trailer of Sivakarthikeyan's Prince, which begins with clippings of caste and religion based violence, soon takes a comical turn when Sathyaraj enters the screen.

He takes a knife and cuts the palm of one member from each warring group, proving that they share the same coloured blood and that humanity is much bigger than caste.

Sivakarthikeyan plays Arjun, a school teacher who uses unorthodox methods to help students. He falls in love with a British woman (played by Maria) who teaches physics in the same school. But the entire village is against him as he loves a foreigner. But Arjun reasons with logic: "I have always followed the pledge that goes 'All Indians are my brothers and sisters.' Thus, I loved a British woman."

Helmed by Anudeep KV, the story is co-written by Mohan Sato. The film stars Sivakarthikeyan, Maria Riaboshapka and Sathyaraj in prominent roles. The film also marks the third on-screen collaboration between Sathyaraj and Sivakarthikeyan after Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam (2013) and Kanaa (2018).

The dialogues are penned by Prabhakaran and Anand Narayanan. The Thaman S musical has cuts by Praveen KL and cinematography by Manoj Paramahamsa. The Tamil-Telugu bilungual is slated to hit the theatres this Diwali on October 21.
