From villain to cop
A lmost a year after the release of his last film, Sandamarutham , Vincent Asokan is looking forward to Ennul Aayiram , in which he shares screen space with Maha, the debutant son of veteran actor Delhi Ganesh. The actor, who has earlier portrayed roles with grey shades, will be donning a “totally different role” in his forthcoming film. “I play a cop who inadvertently crosses paths with the hero, a waiter at a five-star hotel. When we meet, a case I am working on unearths a connection with the hero, and all hell breaks loose,” says Vincent Asokan, who is also awaiting the release of director Natty Kumar’s Yevanavan , in which he again plays a cop.
Tale of a meeting
Director L G Ravichandar’s next film has been titled Naan Avalai Sandhitha Pozhudhu , and will feature Santhosh (who debuted in Kathai Thiraikathai Vasanam Iyakkam ) and Chandini. The director has previous made Masani and Aindhaam Thalaimurai Sidha Vaidhiya Sigamani.
“This will be a realistic love story, on the lines of Autograph and Kaadhal . It is based on a true incident, and I will reveal the original inspiration for this movie, closer to the date of release,” says Ravichandar who will start shooting on April 14.
World of a kid
Young director Venkatesh Kumar’s Unakkul Naan has been selected for screening at the seventh Norway Tamil Film Festival 2016, to be held from April 28 to May 1. “It is a story that occurs through the prism of a kid’s vision. A school boy who happens to be watching a movie is sent back to school by his dad who works at the theatre.
Consequently, the kid jumps into the world of fantasy, where he feels the joy of being a child and also understands the reality of human life and its elements,” says Venkatesh, about his film.
