Director Bala, who takes his own time to make his movies, is finally getting ready to release his ‘Naan Kadavul’. The film, fourth for the director after ‘Sethu’, ‘Nanda’ and ‘Pithamagan’, is also said to be his best film yet. The film has been in the making now for close to two years, making Arya grow a huge beard for the film, thereby making him unavailable for other projects as well.

Bala hasn’t written the dialogues and has instead used the services of noted writer Jayamohan. Among the many firsts for the film, actress Pooja has dubbed in her own voice for a film for the first time. After the hit song ‘Kallai Mattum...’ praising Lord Vishnu in ‘Dasavatharam’, Kavignar Vaalee has written another song for ‘Naan Kadavul’ in praise on Lord Shiva this time. For the first time, a full-fledged song in Sanskrit features in a Tamil film in ‘Naan Kadavul’.

The lengthy climax sequence was shot for a record 26 days. The movie went under the scalpels of the Censor Board yesterday to ensure that if it was to win a ‘national award’, it should be in the reckoning for the same by the year-end. A simultaneous bilingual release in Tamil/Telugu is planned by the director.

A host of newcomers in the movie include Rajendran, a popular stunt artiste, director Singampuli, producer Azhagam Thamizhmani, an eunuch Keerthana from Madurai and a physically challenged singer Kovai Krishnamurthy. The film is likely have a ‘Pongal’ clash with Vijay’s ‘Villu’.
