Sundar C is at his familiar territory again. The director-turned-actor is back to filmmaking and has almost completed his directorial venture 'Nagaram Marupakkam', which is a sequel to Thalainagaram, his first film as hero.

Besides wielding the megaphone, Sundar also plays the lead role. Anuya of 'Siva Manasula Sakthi' and 'Madurai Sambavam' fame is the heroine. The film is produced by Avni Cinemax (P) Ltd, a banner owned by Khushbhu, wife of Sundar.

Music of 'Nagaram Marupakkam', composed by Thaman S, will be released by Chief Minister M Karunanidhi in Chennai on Monday evening. Kamal Hassan will receive the first copy of the audio from the Chief Minister at the function to be presided over by Tamil Film Producers Council president Rama Narayanan.

Sundar last directed Rendu, starring Madhavan and Anushka. He stopped calling the shots ever since he became a successful actor with non-stop releases like 'Thalainagaram, Veerappu, Sanda, Ayudham Seivom, Thee' and 'Aindham Padai'.

"I chose to direct a movie again because I don't want the director in me to take a back seat thanks to my desire to stand in front of the camera. The decision to make a sequel to Thalainagaram was because the film was a turning point in my career and the story had the potential for a second part," the actor-director says.
