This decision, according to sources, has been taken due to two reasons. One being the successful running of Sun Pictures’s Superstar Rajinikanth-starrer ‘Endhiran’ even two months after its release. And the other is the good show of the Deepavali release
‘Uthamaputhiran’ which also has Dhanush in the lead role. “These things have made Sun Pictures to release ‘Aadukalam’ for Pongal,” sources add.
Directed by Vettrimaran of ‘Polladhavan’ fame, ‘Aadukalam’ is set in Madurai. “It is a contemporary film which speaks about the lives, lifestyles, dreams and ambition of the people who belong to a sub-cult,” says the director.
After the hit ‘Pollathavan’ the successful alliance of Vettrimaran and Dhanush are sculpting ‘Aadukalam’ to perfection. The shooting for the film is complete and post production works are on.
Meanwhile Vettrimaran wanted to reshoot some scenes and the unit is co-operating fully. ‘Aadukalam’ is set in the back drop of Madurai town and for the patch work Vettrimaran is shooting in Red Hills area of Chennai at places that matches Madurai locations.
Dhanush plays his self of a brat who refuses to budge for anything. It has romance and action as well. Noted Silankan Tamil poet Jayabalan plays the new villain in ‘Aadukalam’.
Dhanush feels this will be as different as their earlier film and started recommending the film to his friends even at this stage.
