Cheran the guitarist
Cheran’s Dream Theatres' next production venture Muran went on floors recently. Cheran and Prasanna will play the lead roles in this big budget film which will also feature two newcomers as heroines and Jayaprakash in a prominent role. "It was just after I had finished work on Pokkisham that I met Rajan through a common friend. We spoke at length about cinema and filmmaking; then, Rajan narrated the story of Muran to me. When I heard the story, I realised the film could be entertaining and thrilling at the same time. I found out that a particular character would suit me well—the man has a complicated attitude, is submissive and gets threatened easily. The other characters in the film confuse and dominate me," Cheran said to a leading daily.
"I play a musician in the film and there are at least four important sequences where there will be close-up shots of me playing the guitar. Audiences today are intelligent and it's impossible to fool them. They can easily find out if an artiste is just pretending. So, I learnt to play the instrument for four months, and I've gained so much confidence now that I can play the guitar on my own," he added.
