'Mafioso Action Love Story'. This is how Ameer describes his forthcoming directorial venture 'Aadhi Bhagavan', which has 'Jayam' Ravi and Neetu Chandra in lead roles.

Produced by J Anbazhagan of Anbu Pictures, the film is ready for release. It has music by Yuvan Shankar Raja and the audio launch was held in Canada recently.

The movie features 'Jayam' Ravi in two different get-ups, it is learnt, and one of the two looks is expected to give a surprise to the audience.

Talking about the film, 'Jayam' Ravi says, "I am a great fan of Ameer and watched all his films. I am happy to do the lead role in Aadhi Bhagavan which I expect to be a milestone in my career."

He adds: "We all have worked very hard for the movie, under the captainship of Ameer. He has shaped up Aadhi Bhagavan as a racy entertainer with a difference."

Ameer, on throwing light on how he teamed up with Ravi, says, "Ravi and I were talking about doing a movie for nearly two years. That's how Aadhi Bhagavan took off."

"This is a city-based subject, and Ravi, Neetu Chandra and others have given their best. I am sure the audience will like the movie," Ameer adds.

The film has been shot in several locations, including Rajasthan, Goa and Thailand.

Says its producer Anbazhagan, "Ameer came out with a stunning script and he has now made it into a gripping movie. Film-buffs are in for a treat once Aadhi Bhagavan hits the screens."
