"I am thrilled to be part of such a venture. There is everything that an actress could aspire for in a movie. The whole film revolves around me. There are underwater sequences besides some computer graphics which would enthral children," says Namitha with all smiles, while speaking about 'Jaganmohini'. "The film is like a folk tale narrated by our grandparents. It sounded like an experiment to me. I agreed to do it immediately when I was asked. The producer and director are so passionate about the film and I pray for their success", she adds. Cinematographer - director N K Vishwanathan, who wields megaphone for 'Jaganmohini' needs no introduction. A skilled technician, he is the man credited with bringing in a lot of visual effects and technical nuances to filmmaking. A close associate of veteran director Rama Narayanan, Vishwanathan says, "When we decided to remake Jaganmohini, Namitha was the name that popped up in our mind immediately. She combines glamour with performance. She is the USP of the film." He says, "due credit should also be given to Nila and Raja, who have played their parts well. What started as a small venture has become a big fare. Thanks to technological development, we have succeeded in coming out with a movie that would be on par with international standards."

I hope 'Jaganmohini' would woo people of all age-groups to the theatres," he says The visual effects combined with splendid musical score by Illayaraja have given the movie a fresh identity, Vishwanthan says and adds, "we are eagerly waiting for the movie to hit the screens."
