Idhaya Thirudan is Saran's directorial venture for his mentor's (K Balachander) production house.

Ravi, after the action-oriented films like Daas and Mazhai, was happy to be back in a romantic film.

'A great experience to work in such a big reputed banner and directed by a successful hand. Having grown up watching KB Sir's films, it's a great feeling to be part of his production.'

Debutante Kamna has enough reasons to feel happy of her career. 'Thanks to Saran for the great opportunity.'

Vani Viswanath graduates to mother roles in the fashion of yesteryear actresses Nadhiya, Urvasi, Seetha and Saranya.

Nasser, Prithviraj, Kalpana, Kaka Radhakrishnan, Madan Bob, Crazy Mohan and M S Baskar are the supporting cast. Crazy Mohan pens the dialogues.

Outlining the story, Saran said, 'It's about how the opposites attract. There is the fun element when persons with contrasting attitude meet and love blossoms. Trying to project that in visualizing form was some experience.'

Music is by Bharadwaj and the audio is reportedly doing brisk sales.

Ready for release on Republic Day is Idhaya Thirudan.
