Manadodu Mazhaikalam
After Ullam Ketkumae, Shaam is gearing up with a romantic thriller through his Manadodu Mazhai Kalam. Directed by Arputhan, who got the nod from R B Choudhary for the start in Arputham where dance master Lawrence had a pivotal role, is wielding the megaphone.
After the experience of a Telugu film with Uday Kiran, Arputhan is back to his roots.
In numbers, Manadodu Mazhai Kalam is the third for Arputhan, but is richer by the experience of the two previous counts.
Shaam plays the prime male lead pitted with Nithya Das. The latter is an addition to the heroines of Malayalam spreading the horizons in other languages. She was part of the success team of Kunjukoonan and Ee Parakkum Thalika.
'The artistes were chosen to meet the demand of the script and not the other way round. The script did not require any big names. The screenplay has been fashioned in such a way to leave the viewers in a trance. Once that is achieved, more than half a battle is won. It is then a question of ensuring that the viewers' interest is retained till the end', said Arputhan.
Samiksha's character is moulded in a lighter way with the actress trying her hand at comedy, revealed Arputhan.
Shaam is ecstatic about the movie. He says,'Things have shaped up well and I am confident of getting my act right. All credit should be given to Arputhan.
The other credits are: Karthik Raja (music); Muthukumar (lyrics); Raju Sundaram, Kalyan and Brindha (dance masters); Guna (stunt); Raghav (cinematography) and Umesh K Rupesh (art).
The movie is produced by Anthony in the new banner of E L K Productions (Pvt) Limited.
