CHENNAI: To give a fitting tribute to the city on Madras Day, filmmaker Ramesh Yanthra released his latest micro-documentary, Madras: The Connecting Thread. Presented by Million Dollar Studio, the documentary stands out with its concept of recreating the old charm of Madras using AI-generated visuals.

Ramesh Yanthra, who is known for his documentary on Gudiyam Caves, tells DT Next, “Madras is not just a city; it is a sacred thread that ties together our identities and dreams. This film is my tribute to the timeless spirit of Madras. While working on the Gudiyam documentary, I came across various personalities who resided in the city but are comparatively unknown. That intrigued me, and I started my research two years ago.”
