NIC ARTS- Panneerselvam's 18 Vayasu

[balaajee]

Panneerselvam, who shot to fame with his directorial debut, Renigunta, says his next venture will have an entirely new concept.
"18 Vayasu is all about a mentally unstable youngster, who falls in love. Be it happiness or anger, he has a unique way of expressing it. Whenever he is depressed, he takes on the behaviour of an animal that he sights first. I believe this is a concept that hasn't been explored in Tamil cinema yet," says Panneerselvam.

He adds, "We shot eight sequences of the hero exhibiting animal behaviour. While he pants and barks like a dog in one, he fights like a bull in another!" The film, which stars producer SS Chakravarthy's son Johnny (who debuted with Renigunta) and newcomer Gayathri in the lead, was shot in Chennai, Theni, Madurai and Thiruchengodu (near Salem).
"The album of the film, for which music has been composed by two Sri Lankan Tamils, Dinesh and Charles Bosco, is launched. The highlight of the album will be a song that has been sung by a Thirunangai. The number, which talks about the trials and tribulations of transgenders, has been picturised on them," he informs.
