Vikram and Shriya are playing the lead roles, while Krishna is playing a key role for ‘Mallanna’ directed by Susi Ganeshan and produced by Kalaipuli S Thanu under the banner of V Creations. The post-production works are almost nearing completion.
Producer Thanu says, ‘The songs tuned by Devisri Prasad had become very popular and the audio was a big hit. Not only as hero, Vikram also earned a good name as a singer through this film. Sahiti gave melodious lyrics to all the songs. We are making efforts to release the film in August.’
Vikram says, ‘I never approach any director for a role. For the first time, I asked for a role with director Shankar. Next, it is Susi Ganeshan. After watching his film ‘Tiruttu Payale’, I had a strong feeling to work under his direction. He narrated me 10 stories and I liked ‘Mallanna’ very much. However, he refused to give that story to me as he prepared it for some other hero. But I insisted that I wanted to do that role as I was very much impressed with the subject and my character. It is an extraordinary film. Susi brought out the film excellently.’
Cinematography is by Ekambaram while Thota Tarani is the art director.
