Ayan Preview

Can a commercial film be made with enough logic? Yes is the reply from cinematographer-cum-director K V Anand. My 'Ayan' has everything and more, he says.

Starring Suriya and Tamannah in the lead roles, 'Ayan' produced by the coveted AVM Productions and presented by Kalanidhi Maran's Sun Pictures, is all set to take theatres by storm from 3 April.

'Ayan' - the title sounds very unique and different.  Says K V Anand: 'We did a lot of research before zeroing in on this title'.

He says, ' it means one who is unique and stands apart, it also refers to Brahma, and in Arabic, it means God's gift. The hero, a bubbly young man, is all these and more.'

'Working for AVM Stable is no easy thing. A production house with great reputation it gave me enough liberties and kindled my creative spirit. With Suriya around, I felt ease and comfortable in coming up with this entertainer'.

Anand, who made an impression with his earlier film 'Kana Kandaen', says Ayan is a commercial film handled with logic.  A popular Mumbai face Akashdeep Saigal plays the baddie.  He played a villain in Ekta Kapoor's tele-serial Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi besides taking part in Jhalak Dikhla Jaa, a dance reality show.

Interestingly the movie was shot in various countries like Tanzania, Botswana and Namibia. A stunt sequence shot on  Zanzibar, an island, is the highlight of the movie, Anand says and adds, 'Franz Spilhaus, a stunt team, which worked for Hollywood movies like The Poseidon Adventure and King Solomon's Mines have  choreographed the stunt sequences in this film'.

Harris Jayaraj's musical score is a strong point, he says. I thank Suriya, who was there right from the word go giving his best. His contribution and dedication to excel in the role has been extra-ordinary.

The other credits are M S Prabhu (cinematography), K V Anand and Subha (story and screenplay), Antony (editing), S P Muthuraman (co-producer).

Produced by M Saravanan, M S Guhan, Aruna Guhan and Aparna Guhan and presented by Sun Pictures, 'Ayan' is a sure summer special.
