First Look: Suriya's Aadhavan

Last updated on: February 27, 2009 12:57 IST

Suriya is on a high. After his praiseworthy performance in Gautam Vasudev Menon's Vaaranam Aayiram, the Tamil actor is ready with two films -- Aadhavan, a film produced by Udhayanidhi Stalin (Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi's grandson) under the banner of Red Giant Movies, and National Award-winning cinematographer K V Anand's Ayan.

Ayan is expected to be an interesting film, considering Anand's first film is Kana Kandein.

So also Aadhavan. Udhayanidhi Stalin's first production, Kuruvi with Vijay and Trisha in the lead, was a complete masala entertainer. The question is, has Suriya, an actor par excellence and not a commercial star like Vijay, moved on to masala films?

Be that as it may, what makes Aadhavan all the more interesting is its director, K S Ravikumar, who is directing a film after the stupendous success of Dasavatharam.

Acting opposite Suriya is "glamour queen of Tamil cinema", Nayanthara.

Muisc is by Harris Jayaraj.
