''FANS MUST BE LAUGHING THROUGHOUT THE FILM''

Venkat Raghavan, the man who has worked as a co-director and dialogue writer in many Sundar C's films in the past is now the director of Sundar C starrer Muthina Kathrikai. The director shares his thoughts on the film.

"I was an associate director in many films with Sundar C sir. I have worked as a scriptwriter and I have even directed few scenes of Sundar C sirs films. Muthina Kathirikai does not look like a first film to me, all the cast and crew are like my family.

Sundar C sir used to tell me to direct a film all the time and when I wanted to direct a film, I approached him and wanted him to be the hero. Now he has produced the film under his home banner Avni cinemax.

Current trend in Kollywood is horror, police and love subjects. We wanted to make something different from these. That is when we saw the Malayalam superhit film Vellimonga. Both Sundar sir and I liked the film and decided to remake it.

However we did not remake the Malayalam film completely; taking only the core story we have altered the film to suit Tamil audience's taste.

Before getting into direction I had the idea of making a modern day Bhagyaraj sir film with a humor sense. This film will have comedy throughout. The film talks about normal life of a 40 year old politician with adequate mix of humor.

We shot the film in places like Ambasamudram and Courtallam. Along with the leads Sundar C and Poonam Bajwa, comedian Sathish will appear throughout the film. Our goal is that the fans must be laughing throughout the film. It will certainly be fulfilled. Hope all the segments of the fans will enjoy the film with the family," concludes director Venkat Raghavan.
