TAMIL MOVIE RELEASE EXPECTATION

When Amaithi Padai released in 1994, it created huge ripples in the industry for its politically incorrect content. It also brought to fore the Sathyaraj - Manivannan combination, both actors capable of political satire unlike any other names in the industry. Now, after almost 20 years of its release, Manivannan is directing a sequel to his legendary political drama with Sathyaraj in the lead.

Sathyaraj is returning with his Amavasi role, also as the title role of the film. Manivannan also plays the sidekick Manimaran. Thus the combination is returning to possibly serve some nasty one-liners and witty wisdom on how to conduct politics. The cast list also includes Seeman, Raghu Manivannan, Mrudula Murali, Komal Sharma, Varsha Ashwathi, MS Bhaskar and Vaiyapuri.

The movie's music is composed by James Vasanthan. Incidentally, Nagaraja Cholan also is the 50th film for Manivannan as a director and 200th film for Sathyaraj. Produced by S. Ravichandran and K. Suresh for their banner V House production, the movie is being released all over this weekend.

Shot extensively in Tamil Nadu, especially in and around Coimbatore, Nagaraja Cholan is expected to be a snarky political drama with a no-holds-barred Sathyaraj and Manivannan keeping him company. It is now only days away to find out if the duo can spark yet another magic at the box office.
