Madhavan's much hyped Aarya directed by Love Today fame Balasekaran went to floors almost a year ago. Featuring the Mallu girl Bhavana opposite him, Aarya is produced by Manoj Kumar.

Unfortunately the movie's shooting could not be completed on time. After much delay, the shooting commenced last week.

Clarifies director Balasekaran, 'Every film will have some problem. Of course Aarya too witnessed few problems in its completion'.

This bi-lingual (Tamil and Telugu) will be completed soon and grace theatres this Deepavali.

Heaping praises on Madhavan and Bhavana, he said, 'Without their co-operation, we could not have shaped up the film. Tejashree will appear in an item number in the movie'.

Post success of Thambi, Madhavan is pinning hopes on Aarya in which he plays a medical college student.
