Director Vasanth has silently completed the shooting for Sathumpoddathay. A touchy tale featuring Prithviraj and Padmapriya will be ready for release this summer.

Vasanth, a product from KB School, has to his credit successful films like Keladi Kanmani, Ne Padhi Naan Padhi and Nerukku Ner.

Says Vasanth, “I personally feel that the movie should do a lot good to Prithviraj's talent in Tamil. He is such a natural actor in the lines of Mammootty and Jayaram. I have heard of Prithviraj's dedication but to experience that is a different feeling. Padmapriya's role is much more than giving company to the hero in two or three songs. Her character has an equal footing with the hero.”

“It is a movie which would set a new trend in Tamil film industry. The whole cast and crew has contributed their best,” he adds.

He heaped laurels on young Yuvan Shankar Raja for coming up with catchy tunes. The songs are big plus for the movie, Vasanth adds.
