Ajith's
next venture after Azhwar is Magudam.
As we had reported earlier this movie’s
title was changed from Kireedom to
Magudam, to give it a finer Tamil
touch. The story line of Magudam is
based on Mohanlal's Malayalam classic,
Kireedom, directed by Sibimalayil.The
screenplay has been modified to suit
Tamil audiences and Ajith's on screen
image.Magudam is being produced by
yesteryear producer Balaji's Sujatha
Cine Arts in collaboration with Mumbai's
Adlabs.The film is directed by debutant
Vijay,who has worked as an assistant
for noted Malayalam director Priyadarshan.Cinematography
is handled by Thiru. Music is composed
by G.V.Prakash.
The
shooting for Magudam is scheduled to start
on December 6th in Rajamundhri,Andhra Pradesh.,
with Ajith and Trisha dancing for a song
sequence.The star cast also includes Rajkiran
and Saranya who play Ajith's parents. Ajith
is hoping for a big hit with Magudam,as
the script is a winner. Worth mentioning
is the fact that the original Kireedom won
the the national award (special jury) for
the best movie in 1989.
Thala fans also have another reason to celebrate.
Magudam is slated for a May 1 release, if
shooting is completed on schedule.
Magudam may well turn out to be the icing
on Ajith 's birthday cake!
