Speaking about the film, director Manipaul said, “The movie ‘Saala’ is an action-packed drama that explores the themes of power struggles, prestige, and social activism.

The two gangs, eager to claim the tender and restore the bar to its former glory, are pitted against each other in a battle for control. Meanwhile, Punitha, a socially conscious school teacher, is determined to shut down the bar for good, adding a third dimension to the conflict. The triangular fight between the two gangs and Punitha sets the stage for a thrilling narrative, full of twists and turns.”

Manipaul, who had worked under director Prabhu Solomon, added: “North Chennai is my favorite place. I am very happy that my desire to record its people and their life in cinema has been fulfilled in my first film itself. Not only the people of North Chennai, but audience of all sections will appreciate ‘Saala’, I hope,” he said.
