Choreographer-turned-hero Harikumar tasted success with his very first film ‘Thoothukudi’ where he played a rowdy. Now Harikumar has on the floors his second film as a hero. Titled ‘Thirutham’, it has him paired with Priyanka the actress from the Malayalam small screen who made her debut in Tamil as Pasupathi’s pair in
‘Veyil’.
‘Thirutham’ had its first stint of shooting at Ooty and its neighbourhood. Scenes where the lead pair go on a round of the hill station as tourists, admiring the scenic beauty were canned by cinematographer Jeevan. The happenings at Ooty form a turning point in the story, says its director Ponraman. The next schedule has been planned at locations in Chennai, Kerala, Goa and Bangalore. Two songs have also been picturised at Ooty. The film has music by Praveen
Mani.
The supporting cast includes Nasser, M S Bhasker and Adithya among others. A search is on for a second female lead. Produced by Sunihari for Foubro Films, the technical credits also include Vasu-Salim as editors, Super Subbarayan as the stunt choreographer and A. Shanmugham as the art director. Ponraman pens the story, screenplay, dialogue apart from wielding the megaphone.
Dance choreographer Harikumar and revealed himself as a fairly competent actor in ‘Thoothukudi’. It’s his second testing time.
