Alex Pandian Preview

It has become a trend for films starring Karthi Sivakumar to create huge expectations before they hit the screens.

And it is doubly so for 'Alex Pandian', since it is the name of a popular character played by Superstar Rajinikanth in 'Moondru Mugam'.

'Alex Pandian', directed by 'commercial specialist' Suraj, features Anushka Shetty in the female lead role, while Santhanam plays a pivotal supporting character. Devi Sri Prasad composes the music.

The film will be released simultaneously in Telugu as 'Bad Boy'. Interestingly, this will also be Karthi's first film to be released with a dubbed version in Malayalam.

Says the director, "Both Karthi and Anushka are known for their dedication and they have proved it once again in Alex Pandian."

Elaborating, he says, "They shot for a risky fight sequence on a running train. The highlight of the scene was both the actors jumping into a river from the rooftop of the train."

As per the story, Karthi and Anushka are travelling on a train and they are chased with vehicles and helicopter by Suman and Milind Soman.

"Though Karthi and Anushka were insisted to use body doubles, they dismissed the idea and performed on their own. The scene was choreographed by Ganesh and was shot by Saravanan. Rs two crore was spent on it."

With this narration aptly explaining how 'Alex Pandian', produced by K E Gnanavelraja's Studio Green, is going to be, should we say more and more?
