Actor Atharvaa is having steady run in Kollywood after the success of Imaikkaa Nodigal, Boomerang, 100 and the star is also awaiting the release of his Telugu debut film titled Valmiki which is the official remake of the Tamil hit film Jigarthanda. Atharva has some interesting projects in hand one of the exciting films is the untitled romantic comedy venture directed by Kannan. Notably, this film is the second consecutive one for Kannan with Atharvaa as they earlier worked for Boomerang. The film has the elegantly beauteous Anupama Parameswaran sharing the screen space with Atharvaa for the first time. The latest big news about the film is that the team has completed the first schedule of shooting in a short span of time and 50% of the film’s major portions have been wrapped up in this leg of shooting.
Director Kannan says,
“We are happy to announce that 50% of the shoot is already over in this 20-day schedule, which completely happened in Chennai. We erected a set work of house in Neelankarai, which will be one of the major backdrops in the film. We also canned an action sequence choreographed by Stunt Silva sir across the crowded lanes of Pudhupettai for 4 days, which has come out really well.”
About the cast of the film, director Kannan adds,
“Atharvaa is known as director’s actor, but what I saw in him during this shoot was his upgraded version. This film completely differs in genre and treatment from his previous movies and so happens to be his role. After watching the rushes, I felt the fulfilment of the character he plays and that’s because of his outstanding performance. Anupama Parameswaran will be spotted in a never-seen-before avatar, which will be close alike Trisha in 96. Aadukalam Naren sir plays the role of Anupama’s father and his acting is so natural. In fact, his role has lots to add on the humorous and emotional quotients in the film and he has been doing complete justice to it. It’s same with Kaali Venkat, Jagan, and Vidyullekha Raman, who are essaying important roles.”
Shanmugha Sundaram, whose magical visuals in ‘96’ were highly acclaimed, is handling cinematography for this film with Kabilan Vairamuthu penning the dialogues. RK Selva (Editor), Rajkumar (Art), Satish (Choreographer), Kavitha J (Costume Designer), Raja Sridhar (Production Executive) are the others in the technical crew. The second leg of the shoot, which will be a 20-day schedule will commence in Russia from the first week of September.
