Will the sons rise?
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,July 31 2007]
What is so special about Sakkarakatti being produced by Kalaipuli S Dhanu is that it would bring together two siblings, whose fathers have rendered yeomen service to the industry.
The film is directed by Kalaprabhu S Dhanu. The film is produced by his father Kalaipuli S Dhanu. It stars Shantanu Bhagyaraj, son of Bhagyaraj, Vedhika and Ishita. A R Rahman scores the music for the film.
Expectations were high on Shanthanu even before he commenced the shooting for the movie. Since his father K Bhagyaraj is an acclaimed actor-director, people would naturally expect Shanthanu to hit the target right way.
Shanthanu says, ÂOf course I have pressure and I have to live up the expectations of the masses. When I acted with my father as a child artiste in Vettiya Madichu Kattu, I learnt the nuances of acting. I watched my dad very close in the sets. Later when he directed Parijatham, I was almost like an assistant director to him, helping in completing the filmÂ.
ÂI am fortunate to work with a set of highly-skilled technicians in my debut venture itself. Though I am happy, it creates some tension in me for I have to give my best in the movieÂ.
Kalaprabhu grew up watching Dhanu from very close quarters. Obviously expectations are high on the movie when sons of two stalwarts come together.
