Doctor to the defense of love
K. P Indira Ganesan and Y. Subbarayudu are producing a film for Bhavanashree Creations titled 'Kaadhal Oosai' starring Rithik (who starred in 'Mannavan Ninaithal') and Rakhi who is a debutante. A scene was shot in Kallakuruchi recently where the young lovers played by Rithik and Rakhi seek asylum at a clinic in order to escape the clutches of baddies who are after them. The lead pair along with about 500 extras acted in this scene which was filmed as a vital eye-opener in the film. The doctor in the clinic defends the lovers whereas their parents are totally against the relationship. They cite the example of different blood groups not compatible with each other and in the same way 'caste' too forbids two of different origins to come together. The doctor in the film is played by Dr. Magudamudi who lambasts the idea saying when two hearts meet, it is impossible to separate them for posterity. K. P. Indira Ganesan has written the story, screenplay and directed the film. With this sequence, the shooting part is over and the movie is expected to grace theaters soon. Arivazhagan is the cinematographer and music is by Manish K.
A doctor in big screen
A prominent ENT surgeon Ram is making his foray in Kollywood with Kattuviriyan. A native of Thiruchi, he acts opposite Malavika, who is playing a double role in the film - that of a mother and daughter. Says Ram, 'It was not intentional on my part to try my hands in acting. I went to meet director Kalaipuli Sekaran, who was looking out for a hero for his film. He enquired me whether I was interested in acting. When I expressed my desire to act, he immediately assigned me to act opposite Malavika in Kattuviriyan'. Ram plays an anti-hero in the movie. 'I am happy and at the same time nervous to be act opposite Malavika, who is a seasoned campaigner in Tamil cinema', adds Ram.
