Saranya, who played Sandhya’s unassuming friend in Kadhal is playing the lead in Mazhaikaalam. The movie is directed by debut director Deepan and has debut actor Sriram cast opposite her. Mazhaikaalam was recently certified by Censors with a U, despite the fact that the movie features an almost-nude scene.

Says Saranya: “The scene was crucial for the movie’s flow. I wore skin colored costume and the scene was shot for 3 hours. It was tastefully done and I hope it will be received well.” Director Deepan mentioned that the movie has a valid social message.
