Sarojadevi slapped suriya in Aadhavan

A press-meet of Suriya’s latest flick Aadhavan was convened today at Hotel Green Park, Chennai. Suriya, KSR and Udhayanidhi were present and answered for posers. Suriya, in his address, hoped that the movie would appeal to audience from all quarters.

He also highlighted a few aspects of the movie, like his role as a 10-year old. “We contacted many professionals with the idea but had to put it away for either lack of resources or simply because it’s obscenely expensive,” he said. However, a Mumbai based visual graphic artist Govardhan came for their rescue soon enough. “The result was simply mind blowing and we got it done for much cheaper than the 4 crore budget we thought it would consume,” Suriya noted.

He also fondly remembered his association with Sarojadevi on the sets of Aadhavan. “She slapped me on my back one day and asked why I was selling her soap dishes (referring to the Pithamagan scene where Suriya is shown as a hawker). It’s amazing to note that she still watches the latest Tamil movies,” he added. Suriya also recalled how Sarojadevi used to correct Vadivelu’s intonation while singing old MGR songs that was required for a scene.

Aadhavan is a sure shot Deepavali release with Suriya and Nayan in the lead.

Aadhavan’s film shooting, which began in Chennai, moved on to the Chettinadu Palace where about 200 junior artistes accompanied the lead stars and crew for canning a song sequence. Gayathri Raghuram choreographed the dance for the song Dekho Dekho which was penned by lyricist Vaali.

Following this, an expensive set was erected at the AVM Studios where another dance sequence was shot on the lead pair – Suriya and Nayan. The team also canned dance sequences in Darjeeling, in which Suriya, Nayan, Saroja Devi and Murali participated.

Having exhausted all the locations in India, the Aadhavan team now plans to fly down to Iceland to shoot another song. The Yeno Yeno Panithuli has been penned by Thamarai and Dinesh will choreograph it. This is the first time a South Indian film is being shot in Iceland.
