| The
official announcement is finally out. The much
expected union of Murugadoss and Suriya is set
to become a reality. In a press meet held at
the Green park Hotel in Chennai this evening,
the details of the project were revealed and
going by what was said this one will surely
be one of the biggest and prestigious projects
to come out of Kollywood in the near future.
It will feature Shruthi Haasan alongside Suriya
with Ravi K Chandran handling the camera.
That A.R. Murugadoss and Suriya are a superhit
combination needs no elaboration after the
stupendous success they had with Ghajini.
The past few months had been rife with speculations
about the possibilities of Murugadoss once
again directing Suriya. This will be Murugadoss’
first Tamil film after Ghajini; that is nearly
a five year break during which he has created
a great name for himself in Bollywood with
Ghajini’s Hindi version.
Coming to the details of the new project,
it has been titled Ezhavadhu Arivu and it
will be a multi-lingual simultaneously shot
in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi with no changes
in the lead cast. There are also plans to
dub the movie in English and release it across
the globe.
The director confidently stated that this
will be an extremely unique theme that will
carry a very special element never before
seen in Tamil cinema. He hinted that Ezhavadhu
Arivu might deal with extrasensory perception
and an ability to foresee the future, but
nothing concrete was revealed. He also said
that this film would give Suriya one of the
best and most challenging roles that he has
played in his career.
Shruthi Haasan, in a brief speech said that
she is honored and excited to be working with
such a huge team on her Tamil acting debut.
She has already made her screen debut in Hindi
through a film titled Luck.
Speaking at the meet, Suriya said that he
had been hugely impressed with the story when
he first heard it and had immediately got
the producer (Udayanidhi Stalin – Red
Giant Movies) involved. He added that the
final product would be of a kind that would
impress even Hollywood film makers and will
definitely make Tamil cinema proud.
Music for Ezhavadhu Arivu is being scored
by the ‘Suriya constant’ Harris
Jeyaraj. Obviously, lot would be expected
from the music after the Suriya-Murugadoss-Harris
delivered some chartbusters in Ghajini. Earlier,
Murugadoss had said that Harris had already
composed a song for the film which he felt
would have an impact similar to the ‘Suttum
vizhi chudare’ number.
Everything has been cleared for the film
to go to the floor and shooting will being
in a few days from now with a Suriya-Shruthi
Haasan combo.
