Close on the heels of the release of Imsai Arasan 23am Pulikesi, Shankar is gearing up for the release of his next production venture Veyyil directed by his one-time associate Vasantha Balan.
With his lucky mascot Bharath playing the hero along with Pasupathy, Shriya Reddy and Bhavana, Shankar is hopeful of releasing the movie this August.
Veyyil, quite typical to Shankar's 'S' Pictures' earlier venture will have an innovative storyline and script.
Says director Vasantha Balan, 'Quite appropriate to the title, we wanted to shoot the movie in a place which is haunted by scorching sun almost all through the year. We chose Virudhunagar as the location'.
Interestingly Virudhunagar has barren lands and a couple of theatres were pulled down recently paving the way for houses and shops. Shooting a movie rekindled the craze among the localities for the movies.
Another highlight of the movie is debutant music-composer G V Prakash scoring tunes. Nephew of A R Rehman, G V Prakash has sung few songs including Chikku Bukku Rayilae, Shock Adikuthu Sona, Azhagana Ratchasiyae and Kadhal Yanai Varugiradhu Remo.
All songs have come good and Prakash is a talent to reckon with in the coming years, adds the director.
