Description: Director Tharun Moorthy is experiencing double joy with his latest film, *Saudi Vellakka*. Known for *Operation Java*, Tharun has proven he’s not a one-hit wonder with this new release. The film, featuring Binu Pappu, Devi Varma, Lukman Avaran, and Sujith Shankar in lead roles, centers on a legal case delayed for nearly 13 years, exploring its profound impact on everyone involved. After its premiere at IFFI and theatrical release in December, *Saudi Vellakka* garnered critical acclaim.
