Venkat Prabhu, son of Gangai Amaran, has donned the hat of director for a new movie titled 'Chennai 600028'.

Speaking about the film, 'The story is confined to the happenings in Mandaveli and R A Puram. A resident of those areas since my childhood inspired me to settle for that title. It got the endorsement of S P Charan and J K Saravana, two of my good friends, who took an instant liking for the script.'

Interestingly, Venkat Prabhu introduces a host of new faces in the movie.

The movie produced by Capital Film Works, S P Charan and Tantra Films (Singapore), J K Saravana, has a huge star cast of 11 Heroes and 2 Heroines - Director Agathiyan's daughter Vijayalakshmi and Mumbai Model Christine Zedek.

For the first time in the Indian film history, the movie has no individual or dual lead characters. Instead, the uniquely scripted film has all the cast in the movie playing prominent roles.

Dwelling more, Venkat Prabhu, says, 'It is a movie which has a strong screenplay and laced with fun all through. A value for your money indeed'.

The artistes in the movie were selected after auditions and several screening tests, he said and added, they were given a month's training before commencing the shooting.

Two songs were shot in Bangkok in exotic locations including Beaches, Islands and Rain Forests.
