Debutant director Zion, a former assistant of Rambala who helmed Dhilluku Dhuddu, is all set to make his entry in Kollywood as a director. Zion tells DC, “The story of Podhu Nalan Karudhi is based on three youngsters belonging to different social classes, coming to Chennai to make a living. Whether they succeed in their lives or not, forms the crux of the story. The film will focus on the mentality of youngsters.”
The director is confident about depicting the lives of youngsters in the city. “This film is not based on any real-life incidents. Rather, it will emphasise on one’s way of thinking. Also, this realistic movie deals with a serious subject, but will also entertain the audience,” he says.
The shooting of Podhu Nalan Karudhi commenced today and the entire film would be completed in a single schedule that goes for 50 days straight.
Malayalam actress Anu Sithara of Happy Wedding fame has been roped in to play the female lead while Karunakaran, Kathai Thiraikathai Vasanam Iyakkam fame Santhosh Pratap, and Thangamagan Adith play the male leads hailing from a rural background. Yog Japee, Imman Annachi, editor Praveen KL, cinematographer Swaminathan, costume designer Vasuki Bhaskar are part of the team.
