Kushbhu turns 16!

Ponnar Shankar, the film based on the novel penned by the Tamil Nadu chief minister M Karunanidhi, is being directed by Thyagarajan with his son Prashanth playing a dual role. This mega budget project is progressing at a fast pace ever since the CM launched the project a couple of weeks earlier.

As per the story, Kushbhu, who plays the character of Thamarai Nachiar, is required to look like a sixteen year old in one of the scenes. Likewise, her male counterpart, Jayaram needs to look like a 20 year old.

Keeping this in mind, the director of Ponnar Shankar roped in the graphics team that worked in the film The Lord of the Rings. The team was flown down from the US and is now camping in Chennai to work on making Kushbhu and Jayaram look young on screen!
