Police rescue Srikanth Deva from Pondy beach

Arjunan Kaadhali, an upcoming venture, with Jai and Poorna in the lead is directed by Paarthi Baskar. Filmed mostly in Madurai and Kutralam areas, the director has recruited many new debutants from the Madurai area to give the film its required rustic effect. The new actors have also undergone intensive workshops to spruce their acting skills.

“I visited all the Arjunan temples in Tamil Nadu before starting off with the project,” the director reveals. Srikanth Deva scores for Arjunan Kaadhali and the tunes were composed in the warmth of the beaches in Pondicherry. The director also recollects incidents when he and Srikanth Deva were mobbed by fans for autographs while tuning some songs in the beach in the midnight. When the crowd went out of hand, Police came to their rescue, he added.

Arjunan Kaadhali is produced by Sivasakthi Pandiyan who is known for hits such as Kaadal Kottai.
