Director Athiraj is grinning from ear to ear these days and without a doubt, the reason for his smile is his new project Naran, with Poorna, Monica and debutant Agneeshwar in the lead. He says he is back doing what he loves most ��������� making edge-of-the seat thrillers.���������Unlike the regular thrillers, Naran is set in a completely different backdrop and the time factor plays a crucial role in the film,��������� begins Athiraj.
What does Naran mean? ���������Naran refers to a man. According to Hindu mythology, Narasimha avatar is often called Naran. Though there is no devotional or horror angle to the film, it is about how a man contacts supernatural powers,��������� he says.
Though the film is said to have a nail-biting climax, it is packed with humour too. Says the director, ���������Poorna and Ganja Karuppu will bring the house down with their comedy���������. While Poorna plays Jothika���������s fan, Ganja Karuppu, who is her muraimaman in the film, plays Simbu���������s fan. Monica and choreographer-turned-actor Angeeshwar have a performance-oriented role. Dhina is composing the music and shooting will begin in the third week of August.
