Veyyil under spotlight

Director Shankar's home production Veyyil, directed by his former associate Vasantha Balan will eventually hit the screens this November.

After Mudhalvan, Kadhal and Imsai Arasan 23am Pulikesi, Shankar's S Pictures has made Veyyil starring Bharath, Bhavana, Pasupathy and Shreya Reddy in lead roles.

Veyyil, quite typical to the objective of S Pictures, 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 with blazing sun light through the year. We settled for Virudhunagar after doing a lot research. The town came alive again during the shoot as a spate of theatres had closed shop paving the way for houses and shops to emerge.'

Music has been scored by debutant G V Prakash (A R Rehman's nephew). The songs are already a big hit. 'I saw the spark in Vasantha Balan when he did a film for Kavithalaya banners (Album). Getting the audience encouragement is the big motivating factor. Hope he would do a much better job in Veyyil', says Shankar.
