Sathya (2017 Tamil film)

Sathya is an upcoming Tamil thriller film directed by Pradeep Krishnamoorthy and written by Adivi Sesh, starring Sibi Sathyaraj, Remya Nambeesan and Varalaxmi Sarathkumar in the leading roles. A remake of the Telugu film Kshanam (2016), production began in mid-2016.

Following the release of the Telugu film Kshanam (2016), the producers of the original received several offers to remake the film into Tamil including an offer from Abhishek Pictures. However, in April 2016, Sibi Sathyaraj bought the Tamil remake rights of Kshanam for his home studios, Naathambal Film Factory and signed on Pradeep Krishnamoorthy of Saithan (2016) fame to direct the film. The team initially approached Adah Sharma to reprise her role from the Telugu film, but her unavailability meant that Remya Nambeesan was signed. For another pivotal role of a police officer, the team initially considered Akshara Gowda before signing on Varalaxmi Sarathkumar. Actors Anandaraj and Sathish were also brought in to play other characters.
