After proving himself as comedian, Karunakaran played the protagonist in Radha Mohan’s directorial venture ‘Uppu Karuvadu’. He has now bagged one more film, in which he will be seen playing the lead.
To be directed by debutant Zion, the film has been titled ‘Podhu Nalan Karudhi’. After assisting director Ram Bala in the recent hit Santhanam starrer ‘Dhilluku Dhuttu’, Zion has stepped into ‘Podhu Nalan Karudhi.’
Karunakaran, ‘Thangamagan’ fame Aadith Arun and ‘Kadhai, Thiraikadhai, Vasanam, Iyakkam’ fame Santosh play the male lead, while the female lead roles are played by Malayalam actress Anu Sithaara (‘Happy Wedding’) and Leesha (‘Mascara pottu mayakuriey…’ song fame).
‘Podhu Nalan Karudhi’ also has Yog Japee, Imaan Annachi, ‘Vazhaku En 18/9′ fame Muthuraman, ‘Super Good’ Subramani and Raja of ‘Subramaniayapuram’ fame in the pivotal roles.
Talking about the film, the director said, “Three youngsters from different social class enter Chennai to achieve something in their life. Did they succeed or not, is the one-liner of our film. There is an important social message that will be delivered to the audience. But please don’t think ‘Pothunalan Karuthi’ is a serious or a sentimental film. We have added all the commercial aspects, that will act as a great entertainer for the audience.”
