It is very rooted to the Tamil audience and you will hear more about it in a short while.”

Only after the bulls came into his life, did he figure out agriculture and domestication. So, the advent of the culture has happened only after the bulls came into the lives of people. The way the early men tamed the bulls is still being celebrated as a sport and that is happening only in our state in the country. We created this web series to bring awareness to the audience about the importance of bulls in our culture and also explore the untold stories in the world of Jallikattu” AHA 100% Tamil Entertainment OTT Platform has been winning the hearts of Tamil people through a carefully curated slate of blockbuster movies (Jiivi 2, Kuruthi Attam, Maamanithan, Koogle Kuttappa, Manmatha Leelai, Writer) and Original web series in different genres (Ammuchi 2, Emoji, Anya’s Tutorial, Akash Vani, Irai) at just Rs.1 / day. ‘Pettakaali’ will the first of many such rooted and 100% Tamil shows that the platform promises to deliver audience in the near future.
