T R Mahalingam played the lead role in the movie. AVM Balasubramaniam, son of the legendary producer, would represent the production house during the screening of 'Nam Iruvar' at the film festival.
By2 is now Iruvar Mattum
The season of name changes continues. Noted Kannada director Dwaraki Raghavan, whose maiden Tamil directorial venture By2 is ready for release, has opted for a title change. Following State government's announcement of tax exemption for movies titled in Tamil, By2 will henceforth be called as Iruvar Mattum. It is an appropriate title since the movie has got only two characters, newcomer Abhay and 6.2 fame Sunitha Verma. With just two characters, the director has churned an over two hour long feature film with thrills, suspense and romance. The movie was shot in the deep jungles of Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka. Speaking about the film, Raghavan, says, 'the movie has an innovative storyline; the happenings revolve around the forest. It has the trappings to sustain the audience interest and pave way for a new trend in the industry. Should that happen, it will be a great feeling and give the confidence to try a few other experiments'.
