Director Ezhil has a name within the industry of constructing ‘clean’ films sans needless violence. His last film was Deepavali which starred ‘Jayam’ Ravi and Bhavana within the lead and released within the year 2007. After a self-imposed hiatus, the director is back in action and has launched Manam Kothi Paravai (MKP).
The film not just marks Ezhil’s comeback as a director but it surely also has him as one of the most producers. Despite the nice name he has earned within the film industry after directing the likes of Vijay, Ajith and ‘Jayam’ Ravi, Ezhil is a level-headed person with out a starry airs around him. Ask him why he chose to become one of the most producers and pat comes the reply.
“I have always believed that ‘script’ is the actual hero of the film. I liked the script of MKP a great deal and decided to take a look at producing the film,” says Ezhil. The film has the preferred television host Sivakarthikeyan because the hero. Siva, known for his witty one-liners and his ability to trap others (verbally, though), kept all the Unit in splits in the course of the shooting there by making the film-making process so much easier.
Ravi Mariah, who plays the villain within the film, endorses the view. “After I completed a violent sequence wherein I needed to delight in a bloody fight, Siva casually said something which drastically took away the strain created by the sequence,” says Ravi. Siva also revealed that he had an emotional touch to this film as Deepavali was the primary film he watched 4 years ago soon after passing the ‘audition test’ on a television channel.
“To be starring within the same director’s film now as hero is actually satisfying and emotionally draining,” says Siva who also has Marina directed by Pandiraj as his other film.
