Jeevan is ready to fight it out with biggies this Deepavali. After back-to-back hits in Thiruttu Payale and Naan Avanillai, Jeevan's Machaakkaran is getting ready for a release this Deepavali.

Jeevan, 'I am keeping my fingers crossed as the film is releasing with biggies for Diwali, the biggest festival season. The film has shaped out well, with Yuvan's songs being a major highlight'. Thamizh Vaanan wields the megaphone for this film after Kalvanin Kadhali.

Talking about the Machaakkaran, Thamizh Vaanan says, 'When I penned the story, I thought Jeevan would be appropriate for it. I approached him and he agreed without hesitation to be part of the film'.

`Machaakkaran is a racy entertainer laced with a message', he adds.

It stars Jeevan and Kamna Jethmalani in the lead roles and is produced by Madras Entertainment Limited. The movie has musical score by Yuvanshankar Raja and cinematography by Venkatesh.

Kamna Jethmalani, who was introduced by director Saran in Idhaya Thirudan, is thrilled to be back in Tamil.

'I play a cute role in the movie, which has come out well', she says. Actress Malavika has appeared for a song. Thrilled at being part of Machaakkaran, Jeevan says, 'I signed the movie much before Naan Avanillai. The latter's success has made me more cautious and I have given my best in the movie'.

The highlight of the movie is that a song was shot in Switzerland recently. Raju Sundaram in charge of choreography, while Antony is the editor and Venkatesh the cameraman.

The movie is produced by Madras Entertainments.
