Vijay Antony Film Corporation has officially welcomed Raveena Tandon to the cast of their upcoming Tamil courtroom drama Lawyer, also referred to as VA26. Unveiled through a striking first-look poster featuring a gavel and the bold tagline “Justice has a name,” the announcement signals a powerful new chapter for the project. Sharing the news on social media, the production house described Tandon as a “powerhouse of talent,” expressing excitement over her role in the film.
Lawyer, starring Vijay Antony and directed by Joshua Sethuraman, is set to begin production in June 2025 under the banner of Fatima Vijay Antony. Known for his unique approach to storytelling—particularly in courtroom dramas—Vijay Antony is expected to bring another gripping, layered narrative to the screen. With legal drama as its core, the film appears poised to explore issues of justice, morality, and truth in a system that often blurs them.
Raveena Tandon’s casting adds significant weight to the project. A National Film Award winner for her unforgettable role in Daman (2001), Tandon has a history of portraying strong, complex female characters—whether it was the emotionally scarred wife in Daman or the politically entangled protagonist in Satta. Her return to a lead role in South Indian cinema brings both star power and emotional depth to Lawyer, potentially as a key figure in the courtroom drama’s high-stakes narrative.
With anticipation growing and production just weeks away, Lawyer is already shaping up as a must-watch for fans of intelligent cinema. The film promises a rich blend of performance-driven storytelling and socially conscious themes, and with Tandon and Antony at the helm, it might just redefine the courtroom drama for a new generation of viewers.
