It is going to be a treat for film buffs when August draws to an end and right through the coming months with the most expected films of 2011 starring the top heroes in Tamil lining up for release!
 
Cheran is continuing his journey as an actor with 'Muran' where he will share screen space with Prasanna. Directed by newcomer Rajjan Madhav the film has been inspired from the Alfred Hitchcock's film 'Strangers On A Train.' With modern Chennai as the backdrop the film is about two strangers meeting and what fate has in store for them from then on.
 
The rushes of 'Muran' which were released when 'Rowthiram' was released have been garnering appreciation for the way the film has been shot as well as for its music. The tunes for 'Muran' are by Sajjan Madhav the director's sibling and son of late Malayalam musician Ravindran.
 
Cheran will play a popular musician in Muran and Prasanna will be seen as a rich entrepreneur. The actor has slimmed down and lost a good amount of flab and looks lean and trendy to suit his character in this film. 'Muran' sees Nikita Tukral (the "Kodanu Kodi" girl from 'Saroja') and Haripriya as the protagonists' female leads. Jai Prakash has an important role to perform in this psychological thriller film, reveal insiders.
 
'Muran' is jointly produced by director Cheran's Dream Theatres and UTV Motion Pictures. The film is gearing up for release in theatres across the state on September 1, right after Ajith's game 'Mankatha' which will hit theatres on August 31!
