Ramanaa, who has acted in a handful of films as hero, now turns villain in an upcoming film titled 'Thottupaar'.  The film is produced by Tholpaavai Theatres and is directed by Nandu, who had till recently been working as an assistant with director Perarasu.  Besides the director, who makes his directorial debut with this film, the lead pair of Vidharth and Lakshana is also newcomers.



The cast, with Ramana playing the main villain, is complete with Azhagamperumal, Singamuthu, 'Ganja' Karuppu and others.  Speaking about the film's salient features, Nandu says that the shooting of the film has just been wrapped up.  The one-liner of the film is 'there is a limit as to who can rub shoulders with whom', explains Nandu and says that the film has an equal measure of family sentiment, romance and action.

"When approached initially to play the villain in the film, Ramana refused.  Only when he was narrated the whole story with the script, he couldn't wait for the shooting to begin.  Such is the character, which could even be the most significant of all the villains' roles the Tamil cinema has witnessed uptil now," assures Nandhu.
