We have been seeing cinematographers turning directors. Here is one who turns producer. Raj Preeth, who has been the cameraman in many hit movies, has now entered into production. He produces 'Alaiyodu Vilaiyaadu', with newcomer Vijayan and 'Thoothukudi' fame Karthiga playing the lead roles.
True to its title, 'Alaiyodu Vilaiyaadu' is all about the life of the fishermen who are living with the waves through out their lives.
Sevalai is a young fisherman, for whom romance is a luxury. The tough man leads a life full of struggle. All that he knows is to work hard.
Kavitha enters as a gentle breeze in his life. Her presence makes sea of change in the character of Sevalai. He struggles to cope up with this unique feeling, which is new to him.
The relationship between Kavitha and Sevalai, played by Vijayan and Karthiga, is told in the backdrop of the coastal life.
The film has Manivannan, Ponvannan, Roshini, Jenny Jasmine (sister of Meera Jasmine), O.A.K. Sundar, 'Mahanadhi' Shankar, Muthukkalai, and Nellai Siva play important roles.
