Director Chimbudevan is a proven hand at comedy, and so, it is not surprising that his upcoming Oru Kanniyum Moonu Kalavanigalum is also in ...
Ask him about the three-year gap between his previous film (Irumbukkottai Murattu Singam) and this one, and he explains, “I was supposed to do a film with Dhanush, but due to unavoidable circumstances, it got pushed. To make a film, you need an entire team and you cannot predict how things might get delayed. I took this break to sharpen my skills as a filmmaker.”
So, he says he decided to do a quickie, as he had a script ready. “The lead character is a young man who has just finished college and Arul felt apt for the role as he is a casual actor; his features make it possible to mould him into any character that you want him to play. I had gotten introduced to him through director Pandiraj (who introduced the actor with Vamsam), and when I narrated the script, he liked it and suggested that we could do the film for his home banner. We started the film within a month of me narrating the story,” he says and adds that they could finish the film in one go as the film has very few locations — about six or seven, and all in Chennai.
The film, he says, is about the problems that crop up between five friends and how they get resolved. “In a addition to Arul, the major characters are played by Bindu Madhavi, Arshitha Shetty, Bhagavathy Perumal of Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom fame. We have a bunch of talented supporting actors like Nasser, MS Bhaskar, Delhi Ganesh and VS Raghavan,” he informs.
He has also put together a fine technical team — cinematographer SR Kathir, Moodar Koodam’s composer Natarajan Shankaran and lyricist Vairamuthu.
