Kollywood would see a tough contest between two films slated for release this week-end at box -office.

Dinesh Selvaraj, a former assistant of Mani Rathnam, is releasing his movie ‘Kathi Kappal’ starring a newcomer Anoop Kumar and Meera Vasudevan in the lead roles. Also releasing this week-end is Ravi Krishna starrer ‘Netru Indru Naalai’.

‘Kathi Kappal’ is based on the story of famous sandalwood smuggler Veerappan. The movie dwells about the search for booty left after his death forms the crux.

‘Netru Indru Naalai’ is a youthful entertainer. 'After Kedi, I came across a lot of scripts. But they were nothing out of the ordinary. Bidding my time, I got hooked to ‘Netru Indru Naalai’, where three segments of youth get portrayed'.

Ravikrishna says, “It is a youthful subject with a spice of mystery and comedy. Easily one of the best that I played after ‘7G Rainbow Colony’. The entire movie unfolds in three days”.

Ravikrishna sports a new look having shed his weight considerably.

The movie is directed by Lakshmikanthan, who wielded the megaphone for Telugu hit ‘Hyderabad Nawab’.
