"Veerappan" is a biographical film, which is based on the life of forest brigand Veerappan and the events leading to Operation Cocoon to capture and kill him. Besides direction, filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has also written the script for the movie in collaboration with RD Tailang. The movie is produced by Raina Sachin Joshi under the banner Viking Media and Entertainment.

Koose Muniswamy Veerappan (Sandeep Bharadwaj) belongs to a family, which is known for its notorious poacher and sandalwood smuggler in Sathyamangalam Forest in the states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala. In his teenage, he started working as an assistant to his relative who was involved in illegal activities. He committed hundreds of crimes in the next few years.

Veerappan was wanted for killing approximately 184 people, including police officers. He was also wanted for poaching about 200 elephants and smuggling ivory worth US$2,600,000 and about 10,000 tonnes of sandalwood worth approximately US$22,000,000. How Tamil Nadu STF chief K Vijay Kumar IPS kills him and his men through Operation Cocoon forms the crux of the story.

The audience say the story of Veerappan is interesting, fresh and something that has never been seen on-screen in Bollywood. Ram Gopal Varma's engaging screenplay and gripping narration are the highlights of the movie. Sandeep Bharadwaj and Usha Jadhav have delivered brilliant performances, which are also big attractions of the movie "Veerappan."

Sachiin J Joshi, Usha Jadhav, Lisa Ray and others have also done justice to their roles and their performances are also good assets of "Veerappan." The film has rich production values and brilliant picturisation and background score are attractions on the technical front. We bring you some viewers' verdict shared on Twitter.
