Arjun is among the charmed survivors in the industry.
The handsome hulk of a hero knows a thing or two about how to extend his career.
Arjun knows what his core constituency is and what's more, knows how to satisfy them.
Industry hands say that Arjun's kind of movies do well in B and C centres and he knows what to give them.
Even his last release Vaathiyar had a good run in the villages and towns. Its little wonder then, that Arjun continues to get good offers.
He has picked another one now. Oscar Ravichandran, the hot shot producer in Tamil now, has roped him.
Oscar Ravichandran is already making big-time movies like Dasavatharam, Pachaikili Muthucharam and Unnale Unnale.
Now he is set to make a new movie named Marudhamalai. This stars Arjun as the hero and will be directed by Suraj, who had made Thalainagaram. Nila will be the heroine.
An important highlight of the film will be the stunt sequences which will be choreographed by Hollywood stunt master Andrea. These action and power packed sequences are said to be an important aspect of the film.
The film will begin shooting from today.
