The transformation from an assistant director to a director always takes time and needs lots of patience. Not everybody gets an option in life where one’s favorite director agrees to produce one’s first film. As many assume it to be a cake walk, director Arivazhagan depicts how tough it is to get a chance. “Many must have thought that I got my first chance very easily as I was Shankar Sir’s assistant. When I approached Shankar sir with my script, he liked my story, but just by the narration of story one can’t evaluate your ability. So, he decided to test my directorial skills by asking me to shoot just two scenes for this movie for a start.” says Arivazhagan.

After Arivazhagan fruitfully passed the test, his guru appreciated him for his minute detailing in each and every frame of those two test scenes. And finally, the aspiring assistant director is now the director of the film ‘Eeram’, which is produced under the banner of Shankar’s S Pictures.

A romantic thriller, the film has suspense, adventure and a soft love story as well. Aadhi, Nandha, Sindhu Menon and Saranya Mohan are the lead characters of the movie. Manoj Paramahamsa does the cinematography while ‘Boys’ fame Thaman will be scoring the music. Now the interesting thing to look forward about ‘Eeram’ is it’s grand audio launch. Our superstar Rajinikanth will release the audio and trailer tomorrow at the Sathyam Cinemas.

We all know that ‘Kadhal’, ‘Veyyil’, ‘Imsai Arasan 23am Pulikesi’ and ‘Kalloori’ were all Shankar’s home productions. Let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope that ‘Eeram’ would be added to the hit list of Shankar’s S Pictures.
