Cheran's 'Pokkisham' all set to roll

Actor-director Cheran has kicked off his next venture 'Pokkisham' in which he would be acting as well as directing it. Produced by Nemichand Jhabak and V Hitesh Jhabak, the movie features Padmapriya opposite Cheran.

The two come together after a successful outing in 'Thavamai Thavamirundhu'. Hitesh Jhabhak too is a happy man because his earlier production ventures 'Anjathey' and 'Pandi' have turned out to be successful.

'It would be an off-beat film. Designed as a typical Cheran film, it has enough drama and emotional elements in it', say sources close to the director. The movie has musical score by Sabesh Murali and cinematography by Rajesh Yadav.

Cheran's last directorial venture '€˜Mayakannadi'€™ didn't do so well at the box-office. The onus is on Cheran to deliver a hit now. Meanwhile Cheran is playing the lead role in 'Raman Thediya Seethai', directed by Jagan.

The movie also features Nithin Sathya, Pasupathy alongside Cheran and is getting ready for release.
