Suriya's 'Jai Bhim': Persuaded by the film, A Shrawan, a commerce student from Chennai has decided to study law.
Actor Suriya's critically acclaimed film 'Jai Bhim' is inspiring many youngsters in Chennai to pursue law. Directed by T. J. Gnanavel, the legal drama is based on a true incident in 1993 which involved a case fought by Justice K. Chandru and revolves around the lives of a couple from the Irular tribe.
Set in Tamil Nadu, the film portrays the power of a lawyer and their responsibility to defend human rights while touching on themes of the inequality in society and oppression of the marginalised sections.
Persuaded by the film, A Shrawan, a commerce student from Chennai has decided to study law. Mr Shrawan said that although he liked the field of law prior to watching the movie as well but the Suriya-starrer helped him in making the final decision.
"I want to bring justice to sexual abuse victims as I feel they are stigmatised and punished for no fault of their own," the law aspirant said.
