Even as his long pending 'Mayanginen Thayanginen' is gearing up to hit the screens at last, Nithin Sathya, the 'Chennai 600028' and 'Satham Podathey' actor, has signed a new project. Titled '143', the film will be a romantic entertainer, as the name suggests.

"It is a cute love story and I play an interesting and meaty role. The film will be a contrast from the usual stuff and director K Rangarajan is set to present in a different manner. The shooting is on from Monday," Nithin Sathya says.

Produced by Rangeela Enterprises in association with Sri Seethadevi Films, the shooting of '143', according to Nithin Satya, "will be completed in one go". "The movie will hit the screens by the beginning of next year and I am hopeful that it will strike a chord."

On 'Mayanginen Thayanginen', he says, "I play a call taxi driver and the movie comes with a message though it is an entertainer." The film, directed by ST Vendhan of Shaam-Sneha starrer 'Inba' fame, has 'Thamizh Padam' heroine Disha Pandey as the leading lady.
