'Since it is a movie that offers solution to the problems faced by peasants, we are planning to release the film on Harvest day (Pongal), a festival celebrated to honour the hard work of farmers'. A huge set has been put up at Puzhal Jail and shooting will commence soon, he informs.

The movie in the combination of Mammooty, Arjun and Sneha might make it big with its elegant star cast.
Vande Matharam is Aruvadai in Tamil
After a long time, Mammootty is acting in a bilingual film. Directed by Karthi, a debutante, the film has Sneha doing the female lead. The first schedule of the film Aruvadai titled Vande Matharam in Malayalam was completed in Chennai last week. The director was considering the same title initially for the Tamil version, but it looks as if he backed off when he realized that the name isn't Tamil enough to claim tax exemptions. And so he finally fixed the title of the Tamil film as Aruvadai.
Shooting commence for Aruvadai
Finally the shooting for Mammootty - Arjun starrer Aruvadai kicks off in Chennai. The movie is produced by Henry of Pankaj Production and features Sneha and Jay Akash in pivotal roles. It is a movie on patriotic theme and is being made simultaneously in Tamil and Malayalam. Sneha pays a pilot officer in it. Important sequences were shot at the old Chennai Central Jail near Chennai Central where a huge set has been erected. Sneha is thrilled with her role in the movie. 'It is a sweet role and I hope to come up trumps'.
Amitabh delays Aruvadai
'Aruvadai' is a bilingual movie, being simultaneously made in Tamil and Malayalam. Starring Mammootty, Arjun and Sneha, it is produced by Henry and directed by Aravindhan. A plan was etched to rope in the Big B, Amitabh to enact in the climax sequence of this movie. The actor gave his consent to play the role but unfortunately his dates didn't fall in place. Adding to this, Amitabh fell ill recently and was admitted to the hospital. With no other go, the makers of 'Aruvadai' made a decision to cast another popular star and continue with filming the end portion of the movie. Pairing up Malayalam superstar Mammootty alongside action king Arjun adds hype to the movie that is under making to enthrall the audiences of Kollywood and Mollywood together.
