VEERAKUMARAN
King Veerasurendra of the kingdom Visaya gets killed during a hunt. The queen in her third trimester then tried to dissuade him from the hunt pointing out the fate of the earlier king Azhakesan who was cheated to death during a similar hunt. Minsiter Thathwapraksh becomes the next king and the queen gives birth to Veerakumaran. The prince proves to become a master in martial as well as fine arts. Again during a hunt, he is introduced to the neighbouring King Chithrasena. It was one saint who stood witness to the murder of Veerasurendra who introduces the princess to Chithrasena. From the saint, Veerakumaran knows about his father’s murderer and the play is a suspense thriller on his feats.
