- IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,October 21 2009]
It is going to be a clash of titans in ÂRettaisuzhiÂ, as this production venture of director Shankar after ÂEeram has brought together K Balachandar and Bharathiraja, the two ace filmmakers of Tamil cinema, as actors.
A family drama with comedy and sentiments in the right mix, Bharathiraja is playing the role of ÂComrade SingaravelarÂ, a Communist, while Balachandar as Ramaswamy, a Congress activist. ÂRettaisuzhi is the debut directorial venture of Thamira. ÂThe film will be a great treat for children and family audiences. It has 22 children aged 6-16 in prominent roles. It is a delight to direct KB and Bharathiraja. They have a strong admiration for each other, says the director.
ÂKarthik RajaÂs musical score is a major plus for the movie. His compositions are of the soul-stirring variety, Thamira adds. The shooting is over and plans are on to release ÂRettaisuzhi this December.
