Balu Mahendra is a maestro of filmmaking. His narrative in films like Nenjathai killadhe, Moonram pirai and the recent Julie Ganapathi bear the unmistakable stamp of a craftsman in love with the medium. He can transport the viewers to the surreal world where they blend with the protagonists. Dogged by ill health, he was not seen for some time now. He has bounced back again, this time with Dhanush in Adhu oru kanakkalam. It will be his first cinemascope film. As is the tradition in Balu’s movies, Ilayaraja has scored the music. Hope Dhanush will come up with a memorable performance a la Kamal in Moonram pirai.
