Tamil cinema takes notice of novel ventures now and then. Many become hits because of their simplicity, realistic portrayal or contemporary themes. Pandavar Boomi, Solla Marandha Kadhai, Azhagi, Housefull, Autograph, Vasoolraja and so on. The last film stands out because it was a comedy in a modern milieu. Therefore, interest in full length comedies has renewed. We have talented comedians and therefore, a debutante director has chosen an interesting combination of comedy and historical drama. The result is Imsai Arasan Irubathimoonram Pulikesi. Period costume dramas are a great risk with today’s audience with a short attention span, yet director Simbudevan is confident that his script interlaced with fine humor will win appreciation. Shankar’s S Films is the producer.
