After making a splashing debut in `Thottal Poo Malarum', Sakthi, son of veteran director P Vasu, is gearing up with his next.

The movie is titled uniquely as `Mahesh, Saranya Mattrum Palar'. As the title suggests, he plays a happy-go-lucky youngster Mahesh and Sandhya plays Saranya, his ladylove.

Produced by Kool Productions, the movie is directed by V Ravi, a former associate of director Lingusamy.

Sakthi is happy to be part of the movie. He says, "After `Thottal Poo Malarum', I had several scripts coming my way. However I was very choosy and wanted my next to be more youthful and enterprising. When Ravi narrated the story, I was so impressed that I readily agreed to do it".

Ravi has written the story, screenplay and dialogues too for the film.

According to Ravi, 'It is a youthful entertainer. Both Sakthi and Sandhya are young and vibrant. I feel they are apt to play the lead roles. It is a routine romantic story but narrated with a difference'.

The highlight of the movie is its music by Vidyasagar. Says Ravi, "I am a great fan of Vidyasagar. When I decided to do a movie, I immediately decided to approach him. In spite of his busy schedule, he was kind enough to accept my offer. He happily accepted to compose music for the movie `Mahesh, Saranya, Mattrum Palar'."

Gunasekharan, who worked as associate to cinematographer R D Rajasekhar is cranking the camera.

`Mahesh, Saranya Mattrum Palar' is fast shaping up for an early release.
