Trans-India's Tirumalai, who produced the big-budget Kannada film 'Sanakshana' starring Visnhuvardhan, is now producing a Tamil film titled 'Rasikkum Seemanae' starring Srikantth and Navya Nair in lead roles.
R.K. Vidyadaran, who earlier directed the Satath Kumar-Meghna Naidu starrer 'Vaitheesvaran', is directing his second Tamil film 'Rasikkum Seemanae' besides writing the story, screenplay and dialogues too. Vidyadaran was also the dialogue writer of 'Jeyam' Ravi-Trisha starrer 'Something Something Unakkum Enakkum'. He had also directed Upendra in the Kannada film 'News'.
Navya Nair, known more for her homely-type of roles, is playing a glamourous role for the first time and by what the Unit sources are saying, she has given a run for their money to all the Trishas, Nayantaras and Shriyas in this film.
Srikanth's character is that of a protagonist who adopts his own ways and means to bring to an end all those who exploit the society in every possible way. Srikanth, who has been struggling to deliver a hit film after his marriage, pins a lot of his hopes in this film. The director is of the opinion that the story, which floored Srikanth, would go down well with the audience too.
Vidyadaran adds that the one-line short version of the story is that 'Death is the tool using which God blackmails man; only true lovers aren't rattled by the blackmail of God'.
For the first time in his career, Srikanth plays a role that has a negatives side to it. His character in the film, Nandu, takes advantage of others' weaknesses and blackmails them. Nandu comes across a beautiful Gayatri (Navya Nair) and plots to win over her love too by way of blackmail. Whether or not he succeeded in his love affair is what the story is all about.
Vidyadaran himself plays the important role of 'Guru', who mends Nandu's ways and shows him the right path to tread.
Besides the lead pair, a huge starcast comprising Arvind Akash, 'Bose' Venkat, Sathyan, Mayilsami, Laksha, 'Kadhal' Dhandapani, Sampath, Baboos, Vasuvickram, Anumohan, Dhamu, Pandu, Balu Anand, 'Vennira Aadai' Murthy, Satyajit, 'Ghajini' Rajesh, Nilimarani, Kausalya and Arulmani is also part of the film.
Vijay Antony is the music director who will be composing tunes to lyrics by Priyan, Annamalai and Andal Priyadarshini. Suresh M. Koti will be the editor while M.V. Panneerselvam will be the cinematographer.
