The Fazil-Ilayaraja combination
has always spelt screen magic.
Fazil’s films like Poove
poochoodava, Kadhalukku
mariyadhai and Kannukkul
nilavu have memorable songs
composed by the maestro. Now,
they are pairing up again
for Laxmi Moviemakers’
offering, Oru naal oru
kanavu. The film is shaping
up well with the hero Srikanth
giving total cooperation to
the director. In fact, Fazil
is so impressed by the dedication
of the young actor that he
has decided to cast him in
his next film as well. The
heroine Sonia Agarwal has
also done commendable work.
Srikanth and Sonia paired
up first for Chaturangam,
but for unknown reasons it
did not release. So, it will
be Oru naal now and Chaturangam
later. The music of Oru naal
is in Carnatic style and Srikanth
had been practicing lip synchronization
for his scenes. Hearing him
sing, several inmates at the
hotel where the crew was staying
believed that they had a singer
amidst them and knocked at
his door. They were in for
a surprise when they found
Sri instead. It is widely
believed that Oru naal’s
music will be a trendsetter
and mark a milestone in Ilayaraja’s
career.
