'Nadodi Kanavu' is love story set in a village

Several Tamil films have been set in villages. But director Veera Selva’s Nadodi Kanavu is quite different. He says, “In rural subjects, usually young lovers or people who have done something bad are asked to leave the village. But in this film, the entire village moves out because of a young couple. What did the couple do and why the people of the village leave their hometown forms the crux.” The film stars Master Mahendran and Supraja.
“Mahendran has been acting ever since he was a child and Supraja has done a couple of Telugu films. This film also touches about caste issues,” says Veera Selva. The film has been shot mostly in Sivagangai district. Talking about his journey in cinema, the director says, “I have been passionate about films and filmmaking ever since I was young. I had assisted several directors before I wanted to make my debut. Initially, I was supposed to start a movie with Rajkiran. But that was dropped... so work on this began.”
