"After 10 years, I'm happy with my work in 'Marudhamalai' says Arjun with the happiness of having had a satisfactory meal.
Having been assistant to Sundar C, Swaraj directs this film after 'Thalainagaram.' One can guess at the grandeur of the film as it is being produced by Oscar Ravichandran.
The story takes place in the southern districts and Arjun has the role of a police inspector. His 2 heroines are Nila and Tamanna. Hima Khan, who was heroine of the Telugu 'Pokkiri,' has done a dance number in this. Lal plays the villain role.
Since the hero is a cop, would this be a serious film?
"No, not at all. Vadivelu will have you in splits with his comedy. The Arjun-Vadivelu combination has worked out well. The first half is comedy, the second half has action and the film is spice dup here and there with glamour. It is a masala mix that will go down well with the viewers," says the director.
This is the most expensive of Arjun's films. The song featuring Arjun-Vadivelu and Hima Khan has been shot in a market set put up at the Binny Mills in north Chennai.
"Enna vilai enna vilai
Adiye enna vilai
Kutti kutti goyya enna vilai
Gundu gundu mangaa enna vilai...."
This song is sure to make viewers want to tap their feet too. Two songs have been shot in Venice.
Not only the songs, but the action scenes are grand too. In a car chase shot in Mumbai, Arjun has himself jumped down from the 10th floor and astounded everyone. It was picturised by popular Bollywood stunt master Al Ameer who has composed stunts for many films including 'Dhoom II.'
On the whole, 'Marudhamalai' promises to be an entertaining film.
