Sameer and Arav join hands for an urban romance

Director and producer Sameer Bharath Ram is currently working on a full-length feature film. But the twist is that it is not any other film, but Kaaka Muttai director, Manikandan’s short film, Meendum Oru Punagai.
“I had a couple of scripts in mind, and even had a script ready. But I watched this film and thought the short film can definitely become a full length feature because the content is very relevant to today’s world.It is an urban romance, a simple story, but the screenplay will hold the story together,” shares Sameer, who is really happy that he is working with an amazing team. After all, the untitled movie will have dialogues by Nalan Kumarasamy and the screenplay is by Manikandan himself.
As for the hero, Sameer has chosen Arav of Bigg Boss fame for the lead role. “I thought Arav will be good for the role. The movie will have two heroines who will have very strong characters. We are planning to start the shoot by 2018,” he says. But what prompted him to choose the short film for his first feature movie? “If I have to expand, the movie is based on how relationships are today. Back then, people had lesser opportunities to meet new people and interact with them, but with the advent of technology there are so many new platforms where you can meet new people and connect with them. The movie is about how you manage a relationship, how easy it is to lose interest and how it starts affecting your current relationship,” he shares.
