More news →Adaikalam - Clearing all hurdles
Finally Prashanth's long-pending Adaikalam will grace theatres this month. The movie being directed by debutant Bhuvanaraja went to floors, a couple of years ago. After several delays, the movie finally managed to cross all hurdles to hit the screens. Speaking about the movie, Bhuvanaraja, says, 'When the movie was nearing completion, the producer was struck with his business commitments abroad. After a delay we managed to complete the movie. But when we planned for release, the likes of Thavamai Thavamirundhu and Em Mahan got released. We felt those films had resemblance to Adaikalam and hence we chose to postpone our plans'. Asked about the movie, he says, 'It would be one to cherish in Prashanth's career. An touching tale of love and affection within a family, the movie features Uma in the role of Prashanth's sister. Interestingly Prashanth has no heroine in the movie'.
Adaikalam is Prashanth's big hope
Prashanth is pinning all his hopes in Adaikalam. After a average outing in the last couple of years, the actor is optimistic of turning things around with the movie directed by debutant Bhuvanaraja. He has taken up a role that calls for some solid performance and he's delivered the goods. Says Bhuvanaraja, 'I narrated two subjects to Prashanth and he liked both. It was then that I told him there was another script that could be gratifying for him as an actor, and Prashanth was keen to listen to it too. He immediately agreed to do it', he says. Bhuvanaraja, who has worked as associate with directors Adhiyamaan and Mugavari Durai, says, 'the audience can see a different Prashanth in Adaikkalam. He has come up with a matured performance with right expressions.' On the subject, he says, 'the movie revolvesaround the bonding between a responsible father and his estranged wife,son and daughter'. Kadal Pookal fame Uma, Thyagarajan and Saranya are also in the cast.
