What happens

Nenjam Marappathillai (transl. The heart never forgets) is a 2021 Indian Tamil-language horror film written and directed by Selvaraghavan. Jointly produced by Escape Artists Motion Pictures and GLO Studios, the film stars S. J. Suryah, Nandita Swetha, and Regina Cassandra. It follows a woman who obtains work as a nanny in an affluent family, but the patriarch of the family lusts for her. Nenjam Marappathillai began production in January 2016 and was completed that June. Yuvan Shankar Raja composed the film score and soundtrack, with cinematography and editing handled respectively by Arvind Krishna and Prasanna GK. The film, originally intended for release in 2017, remained unreleased for several years because of various issues, including the introduction of the Goods and Services Tax. After four years of delay, it was released on 5 March 2021. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
