Manmadhan
Guess what? Silambarasan's next release Manmadhan, apart from actress Jothika has noted actress and TV anchor Mandira Bedi, Yana Gupta and a dozen models in the cast. Certainly a romantic entertainer it's going to be. Moreover, the movie marks Silambarasan's foray into story and screenplay writing. Interestingly, Mandira Bedi, who hogged the limelight as an anchor during the World Cup cricket telecast on a private sports channel, is playing the role of a psychiatrist in the movie. Currently the brand ambassador of the Indian women's cricket team, Mandira expressed her joy to be a part of the venture. Her last Hindi release was Shadi Ki Ladoo.
Initially, Mandira is said to have rejected the offer. However, when the story was narrated to her, she gave the nod. Model-turned actress Yana Gupta appears for a song in the movie.
Produced by Krishnakanth of Indian Theatre Productions, Manmadhan is being directed by debutant A J Murugan. 'Though Mandira's role is very brief, it is sure to leave an impact among the audience', says Murugan.
The movie is about a youth traumatized by women and how he avenges them.
Music is by Yuvan Shankar Raja and dialogues are by Balakumaran.
Silambarasan, whose last release Kuthu failed at the box-office, is hoping for better luck in Manmadhan.
