Vijay Sethupathi’s film with Puri Jagannadh titled ‘Slum Dog

Vijay Sethupathi’s upcoming movie with director Puri Jagannadh has got a title. Jointly produced by Puri and Charmme Kaur under Puri Connects, along with JB Narayan Rao Kondrolla of JB Motion Pictures, the movie has been named Slum Dog.

The shooting for the movie has been wrapped up. The movie’s tag line is ‘33 Temple Road’. On January 16, 2026, marking Sethupathi’s birthday, the makers released a first-look poster of the movie.

In the poster, Sethupathi is seen in a wild avatar, with dishevelled hair and beard. He is seen donning a beggar’s outfit with a flowing scarf and boots, as he grips a massive sickle raised high amid stacks of cash fluttering chaotically in a dimly lit, fog-shrouded slum.

Samyuktha is the female lead opposite Sethupathi in the movie, while Tabu and Duniya Vijay Kumar play key roles. Brahmanandam and VTV Ganesh are also part of the movie.
