After a series of action-packed roles, Srikanth now turns to playing a romantic hero again in Kanaa Kanden.

The movie marks the directorial debut of acclaimed cinematographer K V Anand.

Noted Malluwood actress Gopika stars opposite Srikanth.

Srikanth, who tried in vain to play action-packed roles in his films like Jhoot, Varnajalam and Bose, says "Kanaa Kanden is sure to halt my bad run. It's a romantic thriller that is sure to make an impact".

Noted Malayalam actor Prithviraj plays the antihero role in the movie.

According to K V Anand "though I had approached several popular actors in Tamil to play this antihero role, none was really ready. Finally I zeroed in on Prithviraj. He has given his best and his role would be talked about a lot after the film's release."

K V Anand says "producer Thenappan gave me enough liberty and encouraged me to experiment and try out new things".

It is a romantic movie which deals about the intimacy between a lover couple, he says about the story outline.

Vidyasagar's music and Soundararajan's camera work are the real highlights of the movie, Anand adds.

The cast includes Vivek, Suresh, Ratan, Vanitha, Geethalakshmi, Amita, Lavanya, Shalini and Hema.

"Kanaa Kanden will certainly help me reestablish my place in the industry. It is a emotional love story narrated in a gripping manner by Anand," Srikanth says.
