 Top 10 different movies of 2007
 Top 10 directors of 2007
This film is based on a novel by Sujatha
By Behindwoods News Bureau.

Movies based on bestsellers are not entirely new to Tamil cinema but has remained dormant for a long time now. Adaptations from novels have been made earlier, the most recent one being the critically acclaimed Thankar Bachchans’s Onbadhu Roobai Nottu, which was based on a novel written by the director himself.

This has restarted the trend among filmmakers, which was in fact lost in the 1970s and 1980s when famous novels by noted writers like Jayakanthan were made as movies.

Another director to enter this bandwagon is Gandhi Krishna who is adapting a novel by writer Sujatha. He revealed that this story, which was published as a serial in the Tamil weekly Aanatha Vikatan titled Pirivom Santhippom tingled his curiosity so much that it gave him sleepless nights till the next episode was out. This has inspired him to adapt it for his film Aanantha Thandavam. Gandhi, while speaking on the title said, he intended to use the same title but as it was already registered by Karu. Pazhaniappan he was left with no other option but call it Anantha Thandavam, which he feels is appropriate. Refusing to divulge more information about the film, the director, however, said that he could vouch that is a full-fledged romantic movie that is bound to pluck the heart strings of the audiences, as it is about Love, an universal emotion, which has come out very well in the film. He praised the performances of Tamanna, who plays the female lead, and the lead actor, debutant Siddharth, whom he says is bound to go places after the film is released. The director even cites a reason for choosing a debutant for the lead role as he feels that the character, called Raghu, is so strong that it will remain etched in the minds of audiences for a long time and any known face might come with baggage that would mask the original character. In these times of violent movies a feel good romantic will be a welcome change.
