Thoondil
Director K S Adhiyaman has carved a niche for himself as
a director, whose films carry family themes. They dwell on human emotions. His
films including ‘Thootasinungi’ and ‘Priyasakhi’ were
widely acclaimed.
Having made a name for himself in Bollywood with few successful
movies, director Adhiyaman is back in Tamil with ‘Thoondil’. The
movie starring Shaam, Sandhya and Dhivya aka Ramya will hit the screens very
soon.
It was shot completely in London. Interestingly Sandhya plays
the mother role and Shaam plays her husband.
According to Adhiyaman, ‘The movie has a different storyline
that would appease womenfolk. Amidst action-packed flicks in Kollywood, ‘Thoondil’
would be a movie with a movie sans gory violence or bloodshed. All the characters
have their best on the screen’.
Shaam is pinning all his hopes on Thoondil and is upbeat about
the movie's fortunes at the box office.
Dhivya, who played glamorous roles in movies including ‘Kuthu’ and
‘Giri’, has been cast in a powerful role. “The character has
been etched out in an excellent manner”, she says.
Dhivya's role has a major say in the movie. She provides the
right turn and twist in the story. Vivek plays the comical role in ‘Thoondil’.
‘It is one of the best comedies by Vivek in the recent
past. He will certainly tickle the funny bone in you, challenges the crew involved
in the making of ‘Thoondil’. A refreshing Vivek with his utterances
will bring the roof down with laughter’, they say.
“Director Adhiyaman deserves a pat for bringing out the
best from me. He manages to get the desired results from his artistes”,
adds Shaam.
“Shooting abroad for the movie was a great experience.
I am eagerly awaiting ‘Thoondil's’ release”, says Shaam.
Buzz is that the director is planning for Diwali release.
“The whole film was shot in London as the story revolves
around a family living there. Abhishek Ray, who scored the music for my soon-to-be
released Hindi movie ‘Tumse Milkar’, has composed tunes for this
film as well”, he says.
“All the songs have come out well and I am happy to introduce
a fresh talent in Tamil cinema”, adds the director.
