Coming out on September 28, Mani Ratnam’s Chekka Chivantha Vaanam featuring music by A. R. Rahman jointly produced under the Madras Talkies and Lyca Productions banners will be quite a serious and strong film in terms of content as per its lead star, STR, who plays the character Ethiraj aka. Ethi.

Coming under the title Nawab in Telugu, Simbu as Rudra has now revealed in an exclusive interview to Galatta that there will be no routine song and dance routines as compared to usual films since there are too many things happening throughout the course of the film.

STR further went on to state there will be songs in a montage setup with no choreography since the film has an overall raw feel to it.
