with Lawrence’s character.

X also stars Nimisha Sajayan, Naveen Chandra, and Shine Tom Chacko in pivotal

action gangster genre just like Jigarthanda written and directed by Karthik

Superstar Rajinikanth-starrer Petta, is the Director of Photography for Jigarthanda
Double X.
Music for the
movie is by Santhosh Narayanan who has scored for Jigarthanda and has been part
of most of Karthik’s earlier movies as well.
