Actor Jai was last seen on screens in the romedy drama Coffee With Kaadhal which hit the theaters under the direction of story teller Sundar C with actors Jiiva, Malvika Sharma, and Amritha Aiyer in the lead roles. The entertainer opened to mixed reviews from critics and audiences. But had a decent box office collection. The actor has now moved on to his next movie christened Theera Kaadhal. Actresses Aishwarya Rajesh, and Sshivada have played female lead roles. Director Robin Venkatesan who had previously helmed Adhe Kangal and Petromax has crafted the entertainer. He has worked on the script along with writer G R Surendarnath. The venture which went on floors with a small pooja ceremony, is now in the post production stage getting refined for release. Now, the director of the film has sat down for an interview with a leading daily in town.
Talking about the drama, director Robin Venkatesan revealed, “Theera Kaadhal is a relationship drama. It explores the relationship between three characters. I think it will be very relatable to a broad set of audience. People looking to mingle, people in relationships, people who have broken up, and people who have moved on from relationships.” Speaking about how the film happened, he said, “The idea of Theera Kaadhal evolved from a short story. I and Surendarnath were working on a short story of sorts. The beginning moment of the story got us very excited. So, we gradually developed that part into a feature film script.” Explaining about his star cast, he stated, “I first approached actress Aishwarya Rajesh. I felt Jai would be apt for the part. So, we signed him. Finally, we booked actress Sshivada.”
Apart from actors Jai, Aishwarya Rajesh, and Sshivada, the casting division of the drama has actors Vridhhi Vishal, Amzath Khan, and Abdool Lee in various other supporting roles.
